noneI travelled from Berlin to Magdeburg and back and was pleasantly surprised. Both journeys were on time and I didn't have to worry about anything. The comfort was great, I had plenty of legroom and was able to work in comfort. The wifi was stable and the friendly crew were always available. The route offers beautiful views from time to time, especially on the return journey. For me, this was the less stressful and better alternative to the car. I would take it again.

Changeover necessaryI regularly commute from Magdeburg to Berlin Central Station and use the regional express to Stendal, where I change to the Deutsche Bahn ICE. I particularly appreciate the ICE 945, which I have deliberately chosen. At this rather quiet travelling time, there are always enough seats available - even without a reservation. You can also easily find free seats in the on-board restaurant. All in all, this connection is highly recommended.

PlaceThe return journey was okay, but not quite as relaxing as I would have liked. Although the train was on time, it was quite noisy in the carriage, which made it difficult to read and relax. The seats were okay, but not particularly comfortable. The view was nice, but it was quite crowded, so I didn't have much room. On the plus side, I found it easy to charge my mobile phone. All in all, an average journey.

The comfort was average, the seats a little hard. The noise level in the compartment was relatively high, especially due to fellow travellers talking on the phone. There was no bistro on board, which was disappointing for a journey of over three hours. The toilets were okay, but not particularly well maintained. The price-performance ratio was just about right.
