PunctualityWell, my train ticket from Munich to Wolfsburg had a lot to offer! The comfort was really great, the seats comfortable and enough legroom. The internet and power sockets were really handy, especially for those who need to work or be online while travelling. And the price? It was really affordable, didn't blow the budget right away. But, and this is the "but", the train didn't arrive on time. That was a bit of a damper, but overall the trip satisfied me. If you appreciate the comfort and facilities and can live with a little delay, this train ticket is definitely recommended. I would take it again.
