The journey from Bremen Hbf to Emden Hbf with the RE1 of the Deutsche Bahn was really great. The train arrived and departed on time. Unfortunately, the train was very crowded and noisy due to the high occupancy rate on that day. The seats, on the other hand, were very cosy and comfortable. Everything was actually clean, even the toilets. The journey time of about two hours was also perfectly fine.
