The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.

Advantages

Powerful wifi

Laptop sockets

Friendly staff

Disadvantages

Often high utilisation

Lack of punctuality

Narrow corridors

As I am a trainee with Deutsche Bahn, I often take the train between Dessau and Erfurt to reach my vocational school (Erfurt) and my training workshop (Leipzig). The journey to Leipzig is shorter and less busy than the journey to Erfurt, but still usually high. Despite high occupancy, there is a pleasant silence, so you also have your peace and quiet. With a travel bag, however, I often have problems getting through the aisles, but it's not impossible. Otherwise, everything is top-notch, and I can only recommend a trip with Deutsche Bahn!
