The service during the journey was optimal! In the meantime, I had a question for the train staff, who were able to answer it in great detail. Overall, the staff was very courteous. The equipment as well as the comfort were adequate. The seats were clean and the duration of the journey was pleasant.

We took the local train to Hamburg with 4 people. The train was comfortable and on time, but the local transport is not really fast and stops very often. The change in Bremen worked well. The toilets in the first train were clean. There was no wifi on the RE. The journey was quite pleasant, the occupancy rate and noise level were OK. Price-performance ratio with 4 people very good.

The journey with DB itself was good. The staff was nice and everything was extremely clean. Unlike other experiences, it was very quiet and low occupancy, which is positive. Overall a top trip with low travel time and no complications.
Advantages
IconComfortable
IconPlenty of space
Disadvantages
IconTransfer time
When travelling from Oldenburg to Hamburg, you always have to change trains in Bremen. Here the transfer time of just under 10 minutes was too short, as the train started slightly late. In general, both trains were very clean, you can sit comfortably and there was even an on-board bistro in the ICE. The prices are reasonably fair. The toilets could have been cleaner, but as it was a journey with a lot of football fans, sometimes it can't look any better. The wifi on the ICE worked relatively well, but there was hardly any network between wifi and Bremen.

IconUtilisation
My journey with Deutsche Bahn from Oldenburg Hbf to Hamburg Hbf was absolutely worth a recommendation. The short journey time, the service and the punctuality are decisive factors, which is why I will only use the services of Deutsche Bahn for future journeys. Unfortunately, the train was very busy, which is not the fault of the railway itself.
