I found the journey from Nuremberg to Ingolstadt very relaxing, as the train was not overcrowded and I was even alone in the compartment. The carriage was therefore completely quiet. I also found the cleanliness here to be good. I found the toilets in particular to be hygienic. Unfortunately, there was no toilet paper, which I thought was absolutely essential. The staff here were also very friendly and competent. The seats were comfortable and there were also plenty of power sockets and internet, although this did fail from time to time. Unfortunately, the train here was delayed by 10 minutes, but I didn't find this too bad as I didn't have to change trains.

On the whole, the journey was satisfactory because everything important was met, such as punctuality, service and comfort. The wifi was displayed, but when you were connected to it, you still didn't have an internet connection, but that wasn't too much of a problem. I can only warmly recommend them!
