The price of the ticket also excited me, because in my opinion the price was cheap compared to other providers. I'm train was very calm and pleasantly quiet. Unfortunately, there were some transfer necessities that made the journey difficult. Also, the train did not arrive in Darmstadt on time. The train was delayed by about thirty minutes.

None

This travelling experience was one of the best I've ever had on trains in Germany. It was the journey from Munich to Darmstadt. The service was very good as the staff were extremely friendly, helpful and even brought coffee to your seat. There were no delays. The train was very modern, equipped with extremely ergonomic seats and a very well-controlled air conditioning system that ensured pleasant room temperatures. I can recommend this connection with a clear conscience.

Pros

Beautiful landscapes

Modern train

Cons

High capacity utilisation

The train journey from Munich to Darmstadt went smoothly for the most part, with modern trains offering a fast and comfortable connection. The seats were more ergonomically designed and the power sockets at the seat made it possible to work or charge devices while travelling. However, the train was a little overcrowded, which reduced comfort. Despite this shortcoming, the route is known for its efficiency and scenic journey through the Bavarian and Hessian hinterland.
