This year in January I took a trip with Deutsche Bahn from Venlo to Amsterdam. The price was very reasonable and well justified. The staff was very friendly and you always smiled at your customers. The volume on the train was optimal. There were several changes of trains which made the journey difficult. The train did not arrive in Amsterdam on time. The wifi connection on the train was quite poor. My mobile phone and laptop could not connect to the wifi. Overall, a satisfactory journey.

This year in January I took a trip from Venlo to Amsterdam. The train arrived in Amsterdam on time. It was always quiet on the train. So the volume was optimal. I was extremely impressed by the price, so I decided to buy the ticket. However, the staff were unfriendly. Unfortunately, they did not pay attention to hygiene either. I could see coffee stains on the seats and the toilets were not clean either. The wifi was very slow. I could not connect my mobile phone to the wifi. Overall, it was a satisfactory trip.

About
Intercity is a broad classification for express train services that connect cities over longer distances than commuter or regional trains, often with limited stops and comfortable carriages for long-distance travel. The term \InterCity\" originated with British Rail in 1966 for its electrified West Coast Main Line services.Today, \"Intercity\" or \"IC\" is a brand name used by various railway operators across Europe and other parts of the world, including PKP Intercity in Poland, Trenitalia in Italy, and services in countries like Sweden and Ukraine. These trains typically offer both Standard and First Class seating, with amenities such as power sockets and luggage space. While some Intercity services are modern and high-speed, others may use older rolling stock, with speeds generally up to 160 km/h (100 mph)."
