Advantages
Connection announcementsEquipment and comfortable seatsTrain clean, toilets cleanedDisadvantages
DelayNo announcement of the reason for the delayThe S-Bahn from Altenburg to Leipzig Hbf had been somewhat full and no change was needed. On the journey, the train stopped again and again on an open track and was thus delayed. The bad thing about it was that you didn't get any information about the reason for the delay. However, the train itself was very clean and the toilets cleaned. The staff were friendly and the connection announcements were announced. The seats were comfortable and had the full equipment.
Advantages
Low capacity utilisation and quiet atmospherePunctuality and no changesCleanliness and hygiene on the trainComfortable seats and good equipmentDisadvantages
Faulty socket at my placeLong journey durationI was able to travel from Altenburg to Leipzig in comfort on the S-Bahn. It wasn't too full either, so I was able to relax in the quiet atmosphere. The comfortable seats in particular helped me to relax. The cleanliness and hygiene on the train was also excellent. There were plenty of power sockets, although the sockets at my seat were faulty, and a stable internet connection. The journey time, on the other hand, was a little longer, as the train stopped at many stations in between. Otherwise, the train was on time and I didn't have to change trains
