Advantages
On timeOrderlyDisadvantages
Small trainI think the ride was very pleasant, unfortunately there was no wifi or power sockets. However, the seats were very comfortable and the staff very friendly. In addition, the train was on time and it would theoretically not have been a problem to change trains. The toilets were clean.
Advantages
Friendly peopleHas wifiBORDBISTRODisadvantages
Was lateSome sockets were brokenI travelled by ICE Celle to Hanover. The train was a bit crowded and had a 5 min delay. There were power sockets, but some didn't work, so I had to change my seat. The wifi worked perfectly. The staff were friendly and offered me coffee at my seat. There was an on-board bistro and a toilet. You could reserve seats online for an extra charge. I did not have to change seats.
Advantages
PunctualityCleanliness insideSeating comfort and equipmentfriendly staffDisadvantages
Cleanliness outsideThe S-Bahn to Hanover was very dirty from the outside, especially because of the many graffiti. They had covered the entire carriage, so there was no way to look out of the window. Inside, however, it was very clean, especially in the toilets. The train staff had been friendly when checking tickets and the announcements worked. Seats and furnishings were fine and the train had everything you need in a suburban train. Otherwise, the train was on time.
Advantages
ComfortSpeedI travelled from Celle Hauptbahnhof to Hannover Hauptbahnhof with ICE 1579 on 6 April. The journey took about 30 minutes, which was much quicker than if I had taken the car for the journey. The train was very clean and the conductor was very friendly. The hygiene was very good and the price-performance ratio was also very fair.
Advantages
Punctuality at the startHygieneDisadvantages
Unexpected stopsThe train journey from Celle to Hanover started on time. However, there were some unscheduled stops on the way to Hanover, so the arrival was delayed a little. The cleanliness of the toilets and the friendliness of the train staff were particularly positive. The advantage of the train journey in contrast to the car was that I could use the time to work. This was made possible by a power socket at my seat and an interference-free wifi connection.
Advantages
SpeedDisadvantages
NoneI am very satisfied with the departure from Celle Hauptbahnhof to Hannover Hauptbahnhof. I had to travel this route on business and although I forgot to reserve a seat, there were more than enough seats available. The journey is very short, only about 20 minutes, but it would take much longer by car, especially in rush hour. The Deutsche Bahn staff were very friendly, the hygiene as well as the cleanliness on the train was also very pleasant and generally there are no points that bothered me. I would recommend the trip again, especially as it only cost about twenty euros and was therefore unbeatable value for money.
Advantages
