The journey from Würzburg was on time and I found a very good seat. Unfortunately, the general atmosphere was a bit noisy because I wanted to work. Basically, I was able to use the wifi and had a positive experience with Deutsche Bahn.

Disadvantages
IconRegio too full
The journey on the Regio was too full. It's a shame if you have to stand for an hour with a small child. The journey on the ICE was good, the compartment was very quiet and also relatively empty. We also visited the board restaurant, the food was very tasty and the service was very friendly. Unfortunately, there was no vegan currywurst, which I thought was a shame. It would be great if you could also reserve seats on local transport.
Advantages
IconEverything went perfectly
Disadvantages
IconNone
The train connection was very punctual. The train departed and arrived according to the timetable. The cleanliness on the train was average, the seats were neat but there were some areas that could be cleaned better. The availability of power outlets on the train was very helpful, it allowed me to charge my devices. The accessibility on the train was satisfactory, there was enough space for wheelchair users and the access points were well designed. The toilets on the train were clean and well maintained. The availability of soap and toilet paper was guaranteed. I really enjoyed this train service and would recommend it to others.
