My journey by Deutsche Bahn from Braunschweig to Frankfurt am Main was comfortable and satisfying. The train was well equipped and covered the distance in a comparatively short time. Unfortunately, the train was about 35 minutes late at the destination station in Frankfurt. The train was also quite full and the wifi didn't work very well. However, I would use the train again for this route.

The journey from Braunschweig to Frankfurt went smoothly and was very comfortable in first class. The train was on time and fast. I also like the on-board service in 1st class very much. However, the price of a journey is of course also quite high, but still cheaper than the comparable car journey.
