I found the journey from Zeitz to Leipzig very nice. It was quiet and the train had not been full. I found the seats very comfortable and fully equipped. There was no need to change trains and the train ran according to schedule. A ticket check was carried out in a friendly and quick manner. The train was very clean and there was even a snack machine.

The train from Zeitz to Leipzig had not been very full, which is why it was quite quiet in the passenger compartment. The cleanliness and hygiene had also been excellent. The seats were very comfortable and had plenty of power sockets and a stable internet connection. Unfortunately, there was no staff here, which is why there was no ticket inspection. I also missed the connection announcements, especially in Leipzig. Otherwise, the train arrived in Leipzig on time and I didn't have to change trains on the journey.
