The journey went well. Unfortunately, the on-board restaurant was not quite ideal. But the compartments were all the better, the sockets didn't work. Power banks were offered as an alternative, which I have never experienced before. So a big compliment to the ICE staff.
Advantages
IconPunctuality
Disadvantages
IconToo many people
The train journey from Chemnitz to Dresden was really very pleasant this time. The train arrived on time, but as usual there were far too many people on board, so some had to sit in the aisles and the noise level was correspondingly loud. There was no wifi, but there was a power socket. The cleanliness was fine, as was the journey time. The train travelled quickly and without delay, so I arrived in Dresden on time. I didn't have to show a ticket.
