A few months ago, I took a train journey from Munich to Dortmund with Deutsche Bahn. The staff were very friendly and always smiling. Hygiene was very well taken care of. The toilets were very clean and well maintained. The price was very well justified for the ticket and in my opinion quite reasonable. Unfortunately, there were many changes of trains, which made the journey difficult. The noise on the train was very loud. Also, the train did not arrive in Dortmund on time. Overall, a good journey.

Pro

No change

Quiet atmosphere and underutilised

Clean train

Friendly staff

Contra

Delay of 25 minutes

From Munich to Dortmund, no change had been necessary. It was a very relaxed journey as there was no high occupancy. It was very quiet on the train. The comfortable seats and full equipment made it very comfortable. The toilets were clean and so was the passenger compartment. The staff was friendly and the check was carried out quickly. However, I was bothered by the 25-minute delay here, as I still had an appointment. Otherwise, a very relaxed journey.
