I travelled from Frankfurt am Main to Saarbrücken with ICE 9558. The train arrived very punctually, yet very full. Unfortunately, I couldn't reserve a seat in advance, so I had to stand for the whole journey. The train itself was very clean, as was the toilet. As for wifi, I was very disappointed because there was very, very poor connection.
