Advantages
IconVery punctual
IconEnough capacity
IconNice staff
Disadvantages
IconSlightly dirty train
As always, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The wifi and sockets worked as required. As is so often the case, the wifi was not that powerful. The IC was very punctual and had enough free seats, which were also very comfortable. The journey took about 45 minutes and was possible without changing trains. It was a pity that the floor of the train was dirty. However, the age of the carriages used must also be taken into account here. The toilets were quite clean. The price of the ticket was fair and favourable for a spontaneous booking. Basically, the journey was great.
Advantages
IconFood and drinks in the on-board restaurant
IconFree choice of seat
IconWifi and sockets
Disadvantages
IconDirty WC
IconLittle legroom
The journey was very pleasant thanks to the wifi and power sockets. The staff were also friendly and helpful. As the train was not particularly full, there were enough seats available. The seats were comfortable, but there wasn't much legroom. On shorter journeys like this one, however, this is not particularly important. The on-board restaurant offered a wide selection of food and drinks. Unfortunately, the toilet was dirty, but there were alternative facilities.
