Advantages
Equipment availablePunctualityComfort (seats)Disadvantages
Windows dirtyManual announcement incomprehensibleThere were no particularly big problems on this trip. The wifi worked and there were plenty of power sockets. The seats were comfortable, but the window on my side was dirty. The train was a little late, but it made up for it later. There was one problem, however. The displays worked, but the announcements did not, so they had to be announced manually. Most of them were not understood because they were much too quiet. Apart from that, everything else was fine.
Advantages
On time and without changing trainsCleanlinessComfortable seats with sufficient equipmentTrain not highly utilisedDisadvantages
No staff in my section of the trainI found the journey on the S-Bahn from Wunstorf to Hanover very good. The train was very long, so it wasn't too crowded and there was a good atmosphere on the train. I found the seats very comfortable and well equipped with 2 sockets per row and a stable internet connection. Unfortunately, there was no staff on this part of the train, which is why no tickets were checked. The train was also very clean and the toilets in particular were very hygienic. As the train was on time and I was able to travel through to my destination, this journey was very comfortable for me.
Advantages
Journey timePersonnelEquipmentDisadvantages
PriceEven though I find that you have to pay a relatively high ticket price for the half-hour train journey, the route from Wunstorf to Hanover is very relaxed. I particularly like the journey on the Westfahlenbahn, which is usually very nice and empty, has well-functioning equipment and is manned by great staff. The train runs every half hour and is therefore very well frequented.
