Disadvantages
IconNoisy family in the on-board bistro
This train journey had been very pleasant. The occupancy rate of the train was low and thus the volume was also quite quiet in the passenger compartment. There was a family in the on-board bistro who had made a lot of noise. The toilets and the passenger compartment were very clean. The seats were comfortable and the train had adequate facilities with wifi and power sockets. There was even a comfort check-in on this train, which I tried out and it worked great. The train arrived at its destination on time.

Disadvantages

I travelled from Cologne to Wolfsburg for a football match. Unfortunately, the train arrived a little late. The wifi on board worked well and was usable. The seating areas and the corridor were reasonably clean. There were a few delays during the journey to Wolfsburg due to fan groups. Otherwise, however, everything else went smoothly. The price-performance ratio for this journey was completely legitimate. Absolutely recommendable.
