The floor under the seat has stuckReturn journey from Sarstedt to Hanover.
On my return journey from Sarstedt to Hanover, I took the S-Bahn 4,
There was something spilled on the floor under my seat.
Otherwise it was quiet in the compartment.
Unfortunately, there was no wifi, no power sockets and no on-board bistro on this train. It was a direct connection, which took about 15 minutes. Disappointingly, I could not reserve a seat for this train, but I was able to book the ticket online. The train was equipped for wheelchair users as well as bicycle transport. The staff were very friendly and happy to help me.

unstable wifi connectiondirty seatsOn this journey, I found it very nice that the train crew announced the next connections at larger stations. The noise level and the comfort of the seats were also fine. However, during the journey there were always connection problems with the wifi. Many seats on the train were also dirty, so you couldn't use every seat. Otherwise, the cleanliness of the toilets was fine.
