Advantages

IconNice staff
IconComfortable
Disadvantages
IconLoose contact on the sockets
The journey was very comfortable and took about 15 minutes. The wifi worked, the restaurant was open and the staff was very nice. The seats were very comfortable and wide enough. You also have enough space to the next row of seats. The ICE was very punctual and arrived in Neumünster at the scheduled time. It was nice that the train was very clean (including the toilets). Unfortunately, the sockets had a loose connection. Annoyingly, this happens very often on this ICE line. Basically, this journey was again very relaxed. Once again, the train is a good alternative to travelling by car.
