Advantages
No delays and no changesNormal utilisation and pleasant volumeComfortable seats with plenty of legroom and large tablesSockets and wifi availableToilets were hygienicDisadvantages
Cleanliness in the corridorsStaff had hardly any helpfulnessThe train from Saalfeld to Leipzig had been at normal capacity. The noise level had also been normal and pleasant. The train had had both power sockets and a stable internet connection. However, the corridors in the train had been very dirty. However, the hygiene in the toilets was okay. I also found the seats comfortable, which even had a large table and plenty of legroom. The staff were quite quick at the ticket inspection and took relatively little time to answer questions. Apart from that, the train was on time and I didn't have to change trains.
