Pros
IconFriendly and helpful staff
IconClean train
IconBoard bistro open
IconWithout delay
Cons
IconHard seats
IconNo internet connection
On the train from Munich to Bochum, the volume in the train was normal. I found the seats there a bit too hard and not up to normal comfort. There was also no internet connection on the train, only power sockets. The service was very good and the staff was friendly and helpful. The train had been clean except for the seats and the toilets worked without faults. An on-board bistro had been available and the train had not been delayed at all.

It was a very relaxed journey. The noise level on the train was very low, as there were not many people on board, and the seats were comfortable. The amenities lacked internet connection, but at least there were power sockets. The staff had been friendly and the train had been generally clean. The toilet smelled pleasant and was hygienic. The train had not been delayed.
