Advantages
Friendly staff with connection announcementsComfortable seats with sufficient equipmentClean toilet and trainNo delays and no changing trainsDisadvantages
Snack machine not refilledA long train was used from Nuremberg to Ansbach, so it wasn't very crowded or noisy. The seats on the train were comfortable and there were plenty of power sockets and a reasonably stable internet connection. There was also a snack vending machine, but unfortunately it was not refilled. I found the cleanliness of the toilets and the train to be okay. The staff here were also friendly and even made connection announcements at larger stations. Apart from that, the train was not delayed and there was no need to change trains, so I can say that the journey was very pleasant!
