The facilities on the train from Ansbach to Nuremberg were very good. There were plenty of power sockets and a stable internet connection. There was also a snack vending machine. However, I didn't find the seats very comfortable as there was no backrest. Apart from that, the train wasn't very full, which is why it was very quiet. I found the staff very friendly. I also found the announcements good and entertaining, especially during the greetings. The cleanliness on the train and in the toilets was also very good. Overall, it was a perfect journey as the train wasn't delayed at all and I didn't have to change trains!
