No wifiNo on-board bistroWas very fullConnection Kassel to Göttingen.
The train left on time, but unfortunately it was a bit crowded.
There were toilets on board and the staff were nice.
Unfortunately, there was no wifi and sufficient power sockets on the train. Unfortunately, seats could be reserved.
Disappointingly, there was also no on-board bistro. It was quiet on the train and overall a good journey without changing trains.
Advantages
Friendly staffComfortable seats with sufficient power socketsNo delays and no need to change trainsCleanliness on the train and in the toiletsDisadvantages
High capacity utilisationNo internet connectionThis train was very full, but this may have been due to the Christmas holidays. Nevertheless, the volume on the train was quite pleasant, so it was possible to relax. The seats in particular were very comfortable and had plenty of power sockets, but unfortunately no internet connection. The staff on the train were very friendly and carried out a quick ticket check. The cleanliness on the train and in the toilets was also acceptable. The train was hardly delayed and I didn't have to change trains.

wifiCateringIn October, I travelled from Kassel to Göttingen, the journey went very quickly and I arrived at Göttingen Central Station on time. Unfortunately, the wifi was very slow, which was a shame as I actually wanted to do something productive. The catering was also very poor. Nevertheless, the hygiene was really very good and the toilets were very clean, including the seats. Top!
