Pro

Friendly staff

Contra

Worn train

I took the train EC 219 from Heidelberg to Salzburg. The train also went through Munich. I was traveling second class and did not make a reservation, yet there were enough seats so I did not have to stand. The train looked worn and in questionable technical condition. The board bistro was closed that day. The board staff was always friendly and courteous. The train was not delayed for the entire trip. The trip was not bad in this respect, only the old train was in need of improvement.
