A bit crowded and too loudNo legroomThe train from Würzburg to Nuremberg was a bit too full and too loud, so it wasn't possible to relax. I also found the seats here uncomfortable, as there was no legroom. Otherwise, the staff on the train were very friendly and carried out a smooth ticket inspection. There were also plenty of power sockets, a stable internet connection and a stocked snack machine. I also found the cleanliness to be good and the toilets were hygienic. The train here was not delayed and I didn't have to change trains, so the journey time was very short. All in all, a good journey!
