Advantages
IconFriendly staff
IconFast journey without changing trains and without delays
IconComfortable seats with good equipment
IconClean corridors and hygienic toilets
Disadvantages
IconTrain was dirty on the outside
The train from Nuremberg to Schwabach had been relatively empty, so it wasn't too noisy in the passenger compartment. The facilities on the train were very good. There were plenty of power sockets and an internet connection on board. I also found the seats with the large tables very comfortable. The corridors and toilets were clean. However, the outside of the train was so dirty that you couldn't really look out of the window. The staff were very friendly and made announcements on the train from time to time. Apart from that, the train wasn't delayed and I didn't have to change trains until I reached my destination. All in all, a great journey!
