A few months ago, I took a train journey from Hof to Leipzig with Deutsche Bahn. The journey was pretty good. The volume on the train was regulated and optimal. The wifi connection on the train was excellent. My mobile connected very well to the wifi and it was very efficient and fast. The price was also very fair for the train journey. Unfortunately, the train did not arrive in Leipzig on time. The staff were also not very friendly and sometimes shouted at their customers and were very strict. However, hygiene was not taken into account either. The toilets were not clean and neither were the seats. All in all, however, a good trip.

Advantages

Good equipment

Comfortable seats

Cleanliness

Close but successful changeover

Disadvantages

Unfriendly staff

On the journey from Hof to Leipzig, I had to change trains once in Chemnitz Hbf. Although the changeover time was very short, I reached my connecting train without any problems. On the train, however, the ticket inspector was unfriendly. She did not greet me and gave me an annoyed impression during the ticket check. The train itself, however, offered everything one needed in terms of facilities. It was also clean and the seats were comfortable. Apart from the staff, the journey was a very relaxed and pleasant one.
