On this day, I travelled from Bonn Central Station to Frankfurt am Main. I travelled on the relatively modern ICE 1548, and the fast and good service from the staff was particularly noticeable. In addition, the train arrived in Frankfurt on time at 9:13, which I always like, and the price for the train was also fair. In addition, the wifi worked excellently and you could work well. Unfortunately, the seats were a bit old.
