My journey in ERX83470 from Hildesheim to Hanover was very pleasant. There was no wifi, but as the journey takes less than half an hour, it was not a big problem. The train was very clean, not crowded and it was easy to find a seat. I would take the train again at any time.

From 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.
