Advantages
Punctuality and no need to change trainsFast ticket inspection and good announcementsComfortable seats with the usual equipmentCleanliness and hygiene very goodDisadvantages
Increased volume on the trainI also had to take the S-Bahn from Mönchengladbach to Düsseldorf, which wasn't very full. However, the noise level was very high due to the many families on the train. I found the seats here comfortable and the facilities were just as good as usual. The staff checked the tickets quickly and made good announcements. The train was very clean and hygienic. There was also no need to change trains here. In between, the train was slightly delayed, but this was quickly made up for by the time we reached our destination. All in all, a very good journey
