Advantages
Snack machine was availableTrain was on timeStaff was friendlyTrain was clean, had enough equipment and comfortable seatsDisadvantages
No announcements on the trainThe journey was made without changing trains, so it didn't take long. The Intercity to Leipzig had snack machines and plenty of toilets, which were very clean. The seats on the train were comfortable and had power sockets and internet connection. The staff here were friendly when checking tickets. However, I noticed that no announcements and connections were made. Otherwise, the train was very quiet and arrived on time.
Advantages
Very pleasant rideTrain was as good as empty - relaxedGood price-performance ratioDisadvantages
Train arrived a little later than expectedPlace was partly dirtyPeople talking aloud on the trainDue to a job interview, I travelled by train (class 2) from Magdeburg to Leipzig.
The journey was very relaxed and good. The train was very empty, which made it even easier and more relaxed. Also for 9 €. Ticket you can't complain. The negative thing about the journey was that I arrived in Leipzig 5 minutes later than expected. In addition, my seat was slightly dirty.
Advantages
Fast connection without too many stopoversDisadvantages
Train announced with delayUnplanned stops along the routeThe connection is great - if it runs to schedule. The train was announced to be late, and even more delays occurred during the course of the journey due to unplanned stops. The wifi on board was ok. There were few disconnections, but the internet connection should be more stable and smoother. The toilets worked, the staff were nice. The train was not very full at lunchtime.
Advantages
SpeedComfort and equipment of the ICPersonnelDisadvantages
PriceI remember the train journey between Magdeburg and Leipzig as being almost perfect. I was one of the only passengers in my carriage and in general the atmosphere on the train was extremely relaxed and calm.
The staff were extremely friendly and communicative and we left Magdeburg on time and arrived in Leipzig on time.
As usual, the IC train had thoroughly satisfactory seating, freely accessible wifi and working toilets throughout the train.
Advantages
On time and without changing trainsCleanliness on the trainComfortNormal utilisation and pleasant volumeDisadvantages
Snack machine defectiveToilet defectiveThe train from Magdeburg to Leipzig was normally full and the volume in the passenger compartment was pleasant. The train was definitely comfortable. Especially as the seats were very comfortable and had plenty of legroom. There were also plenty of power sockets and a stable internet connection. Unfortunately, one of the two toilets here was defective, so there was a build-up in the second toilet. The snack machine was also broken, so there were no catering options. I thought the cleanliness of the train was very good. Furthermore, the train wasn't late and I didn't have to change trains.
