Advantages
Clean and quietFast ticket controlComfortable seats with good equipmentOn time and without changing trainsDisadvantages
Displays inside did not workI 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 only thing to criticise here was that the displays inside did not work.
Advantages
Comfortable seats with good equipmentTop cleanliness and hygienePunctuality and without changing trainsLow utilisation and pleasant volumeDisadvantages
No staffNo connection announcementsThe 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.
