My journey from Oldenburg to Osnabrück with Deutsche Bahn was, apart from a few small things, all in all very good. The journey time was short, the seats were comfortable and there was enough peace and quiet at this early hour. Only the toilets were not very clean and the bright light was a bit annoying. Apart from that, everything was great and we would love to come back.
