ReviewsReviews for the rail journey from Nuremberg to Karlsruhe

userReviewImage
userReviewLogo
The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.
Pros
IconA relatively fast connection
IconTrain comfort
Cons
IconLong waiting times
IconRisk of delays
Wifi is not available throughout the train, sockets only in seating areas with 4 seats. This partly depends on the IC, as there are older and newer ones. Seats comfortable, noise was bearable. Reservations can usually be made via app, recommended for high occupancy. The train is generally clean. Transfer times are usually very tight, delays of up to 45 minutes are the order of the day. For the price, however, it is good, as I travelled with the super saver fare.
Pros
IconWell air conditioned in lower compartments
IconContinuous connection with IC
IconMany free places
Cons
IconConnection could be faster
IconSlight delay at departure
IconNo on-board bistro
On my journey from Karlsruhe to Nuremberg, I travelled on a double-decker IC. The departure was unfortunately delayed by 5-10 minutes, but this delay was almost made up by Nuremberg. All in all, I find over 3 hours a bit long for this route, but you can do it without changing trains. There were many free seats on the train, which meant that you could sit in the lower, well air-conditioned compartments on this very hot day, but it was very warm on the upper floor. The wifi also worked very smoothly and without any problems, and the train attendant was very funny and in a good mood. The train was clean, but unfortunately there was no on-board bistro, but at least there was a snack machine.
