Pros

The trip was very pleasant.

No delays or anything else.

Wifi and power socket were available

Cons

It was a drunk who was shouting.

The toilets were not clean

It was too crowded.

The time went quickly and I had my headphones on when it got louder on the train, charger and wifi were also available. Toilets were not so clean, but otherwise I was very satisfied with the ride. The price was bearable so that I still had enough money to stroll around the cathedral in Cologne.

Pros

Quick

Comfortable

Cons

Not quite clean

My journey from Wuppertal to Cologne with this train ticket was extremely satisfying. Not only did the journey go smoothly and quickly, but word also height comfort during the journey. The seats were comfortable and the train connection allowed for efficient travel time. Oh, the speed of this connection impressed me. The train reached Cologne on time and without much major delay, which allowed me to make the most of my time. The fast travel time was particularly beneficial as I would not have to waste any time. The only small area for improvement would be the cleanliness on the train. #Although the seats were comfortable, I would have liked the train to be a little cleaner overall. A cleaner train definitely added to overall experience. All in all, this train service was a great choice for my journey from Wuppertal to Cologne. The convenience and speed of travel over bows, the minor inconvenience of cleanliness. I would definitely recommend this train ticket if you are looking for a comfortable and efficient journey between these two cities.

Pros

Cons

Dirty floor and tables

The train from Wuppertal to Cologne had been very dirty. The floor was full of dirt and the tables were not wiped and full of crumbs. The seats, on the other hand, were comfortable and even had backrests. Power outlets and internet were available and the toilets were acceptable in terms of cleanliness. The staff was friendly and the noise level on the train was pleasant as it was not very busy. The train had been on time and the journey was therefore good.

Pros

Punctuality

Cleanliness

wifi

Cons

None

Last week I took the IC from Wuppertal to Cologne after work. The train left on time and also arrived in Cologne on time, so I got to my connection on time. The wifi connection on the train was good, so I was able to use the half-hour journey to work on open tasks on my laptop. The cleanliness of the train and the toilets was also positive. I would definitely recommend the ICE journey to others.

Pros

Speed

Cons

None

After I had already taken the ICE from Cologne to Wuppertal in the morning, the return journey from Wuppertal back to Cologne main station was also very pleasant. The journey takes about 30 minutes and is much faster than travelling the same distance by car. The ICE 2570 was a few minutes late, but it was still very clean and pleasant. Although I didn't have a reserved seat, the train wasn't too crowded and I was able to find a seat.

Pros

Sockets and internet available

Connections were announced

Cons

Train overcrowded

Delay of 25 minutes

Very loud on the train

Corridors were dirty

Toilets were overcrowded

No ticket inspection

The train from Wuppertal to Cologne had been very full, so I didn't get a seat. As a result, it was also very noisy. Due to the high capacity utilisation, there was no ticket inspection, although there was staff available. However, I liked the fact that connections were constantly announced, as the train was delayed by 25 minutes during the journey. The toilets were very crowded and I didn't find the corridors clean either. At least there was an internet connection and power sockets, which were also located on the walls in the corridors. Otherwise a really terrible journey!

Pros

Cons

Comfort

My train ticket from Wuppertal to Cologne was a real bargain! The price-performance ratio really impressed me. The journey time was great, the train arrived on time and I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the train. But to be honest, the comfort left a little to be desired. The seats weren't the most comfortable, that was the only downside. Nevertheless, if you value value value for money, punctuality and cleanliness and can live with a little less comfort, this train ticket is definitely recommendable. I had a pleasant journey and would book it again.

Pros

Cons

Seats

I would normally have travelled the route by car, but this time I decided to take the train and I definitely don't regret my decision. It was a very short journey and the price was really fair. The train was also on time. It was a bit of a shame that I didn't have a seat at the beginning, but there was still one available.
