Advantages
Short journey time of 30-40 minutesOnly one station in the ICClean and punctualDisadvantages
Wifi not always availableOvertaking ICE trainsThe journey from Hanover to Minden is very pleasant because it is only one stop on the IC train, which also departs from Hanover. In other words, it's still clean and empty. Unfortunately, the wifi doesn't always work, which makes it difficult to work during the journey. It takes just over 30 minutes to reach your destination.
Advantages
Punctualitywithout changeoverComfortable seatsSockets availableFriendly staffPleasant atmosphereDisadvantages
Regional express cancelledLonger journey durationWifi did not workHigh capacity utilisationI had to take the S-Bahn from Hanover to Minden because the regional express was cancelled. As a result, the S-Bahn was already very full at the start of the journey. The journey time was also very long as the S-Bahn stopped at every station. The cleanliness on the train was perfect. The hygiene in the toilets was also acceptable. The staff were very friendly and co-ordinated individual passengers to free seats on the train. Furthermore, the seats were very comfortable and had sufficient power sockets. Unfortunately, the wifi did not work. Otherwise, the volume on the train was pleasant. There were no delays and I didn't have to change trains.
