Full trainDelay of 10 minutesFrom Hildesheim to Hanover, I could quickly take the S-Bahn to the city centre. However, this had been very full, so I had to stand. Due to the high occupancy rate, the train had also ended up being 10 minutes late. It had been very clean on the train and the toilet on the train was hygienic and worked perfectly. The ticket check went smoothly and the staff made a friendly impression. Power sockets and an internet connection had also been available, so the journey was acceptable.
