Everything was fineThe train connection was mostly on time, with only a minimal delay of around 5 minutes on arrival in Cologne. The price-performance ratio of the train journey was excellent. The cost of the ticket was reasonable. The cleanliness of the train was generally good, the compartments and common areas were neat and tidy. The free wifi on board worked perfectly. The connection was stable and the speed was sufficient. The toilets on the train were clean and well equipped. However, there were times when more frequent cleaning would have been beneficial. The seats were comfortable and offered a lot of space, which improved the seating comfort. However, the upholstery of the seats could be a little thicker. Overall, this train journey from Cologne to Bad Oeynhausen was a positive experience.
