Train connection from Hanover to Wolfsburg. Today I travelled with my daughter from Hanover to Wolfsburg on the ICE to visit the Pheno. The journey took a total of 32 minutes. The train was on time and there was no need to change trains as it was a direct connection. The toilets were clean and intact. The compartment was quiet, clean and air-conditioned. The train was very busy but we still found seats. There were power sockets at the seats and wifi was available. Tickets and seat reservations could be booked conveniently via the German app. The ICE had nice staff and a well-attended dining car. We enjoyed the journey.

Once I found my seat, I didn't have to do a thing and could sit back and enjoy the ride. It is so easy and comfortable to travel by train. I didn't even have to change trains. The staff on the train, as well as in the on-board bistro, are always nice and helpful. The on-board bistro also has a wide variety of food, even vegetarian and vegan. The train itself is also very clean and there is plenty of space.

In my opinion, the journey with Deutsche Bahn from Hannover Hbf to Wolfsburg Hbf is perfectly fine. It's a bit dirty here and there, which is probably partly due to the fairly high capacity utilisation, but the journey time is really pleasantly short and the internet connection is comparatively stable, unlike other providers, so you can also work well on the move. Gladly again.

The journey from Hanover to Wolfsburg was actually very relaxed and pleasant in itself, but unfortunately the staff were not nice at all, because when I asked for information, I was only given the unfriendly reply that I should find out more online. The journey was good, train on time, seats comfortable and travelled very quickly. If you ignore the unfriendly staff, it was a very good journey that you can repeat.
