ReviewsReviews for the rail journey from Bochum to Düsseldorf
The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.
Advantages
Friendly staffNo delays and without changing trainsPower sockets and snack machine availableCleanliness on the train and in the toiletsDisadvantages
little legroomNo stable internet connectionNo storage space for luggageThe train was normally full on this journey and therefore had a normal volume. However, the seats on the train were not very comfortable. Especially as there was no legroom at all, as there were only rows of seats and no 4-seater seats. There was also no possibility to store luggage. Otherwise, there were power sockets and a snack machine, but unfortunately no stable internet connection. The staff here were friendly and competent. The cleanliness was also good, which I must emphasise, especially in the toilets. Overall, the train had hardly been delayed and it had not been necessary to change trains.
