Recently in January, I took a trip from Ulm to Amsterdam. I was particularly impressed by the price, which is why I decided to buy the ticket. The wifi on the train was excellent. It was very fast and worked perfectly. Moreover, we arrived in Amsterdam on time. But it was very noisy on the train. However, there was also a lot of need to change trains. Also, the staff was not very friendly. They did not listen to the concerns and interests of their guests. Overall, it was a satisfying journey.
