CleanlinessThe journey from the capital of Austria directly to the heart of Swabia, Stuttgart, was made by Intercity 460. Through the seat reservation, which was necessary because the train was quite full, I also got a seat. The wifi worked without any problems throughout the journey. The cleanliness in the corridors and toilets could be much better. The train was on time and proved to be a very good alternative to the car.
