Backrest on the seat was missingThe 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.
