After the delay on my previous train, I was fortunately still able to catch this one, as it was already 15 minutes late. Nevertheless, I was glad to board the ICE7033, as it looked much better than the previous RE 7. The friendly and attentive staff were particularly commendable, and the on-board bistro was also excellent. The hygiene was not the best either, but acceptable for the long journey.
