Advantages
ReliabilityCleanDisadvantages
Signal interferenceMy train journey from Düsseldorf to Hanover was really positive overall.
The best part was how reliable and clean the train was.
Everything ran smoothly and the cleanliness on the train made for a pleasant travelling atmosphere. Unfortunately, there was a signal malfunction on the route, which caused a short delay. This was annoying, but the train staff kept us well informed and the delay was not too bad. Overall, my train journey from Düsseldorf to Hanover was really pleasant. The reliability and cleanliness of the train definitely made up for the small incident with the signal malfunction.
I would definitely recommend this train ticket.
Advantages
PunctualityComfortDisadvantages
CleanlinessCateringThe train journey from Düsseldorf to Hanover on the ICE 1916 was a mixed experience for me, while some positive aspects such as punctuality and comfort stood out, these were diminished by shortcomings in cleanliness and catering. The choice of food was limited. The wifi on board was unreliable, which was problematic for me as a traveller who relies on an internet connection during the journey.
Advantages
No delayCleanServiceDisadvantages
No wifiWe travelled from Düsseldorf to Hanover on the IC 1916. The journey was pleasant because it didn't take 3 hours. It was clean in the train, even the toilets were clean. The service was good, there was currywurst in the on-board bistro. The train left on time and also arrived in Hanover on time. There was no wifi on the train. That wasn't so bad because we were travelling as a group. I can recommend this connection.
Advantages
Fast drivePleasantDisadvantages
Expensive for bookings at short noticeThe journey from Düsseldorf Central Station to Hanover Central Station by ICE takes two and a half hours without changing trains. The journey on the ICE is comfortable and the wifi is very good on this route. Unfortunately, the on-board bistro is rarely available on this route and when it is, it is closed. Of the last five train journeys on this route, four were on time. Considering the alternatives (bus or car), the train is the best choice for me on this route.
Advantages
Modern and clean trainNice staffNo delayDisadvantages
NoneThe journey from Düsseldorf to Hanover was very pleasant. The train was modern and well equipped. It was clean in the carriages and also in the toilets. The staff were friendly. Coffee was offered at your seat. There was also an on-board bistro. There were no delays on the entire journey. I can recommend this connection.
Advantages
CleanPunctualPriceDisadvantages
NoneMy journey from Düsseldorf to Hanover was a direct journey with the IC. There was nothing to complain about, the journey itself was very positive. I particularly liked the service, as the staff were very friendly and helpful. In addition, there were no delays during the entire journey. The train was clean, well-maintained and technically in good order, as it seemed to me. The price was also reasonable for this journey.
Advantages
PunctualCleanEquipmentDisadvantages
NoneThe train journey from Düsseldorf to Hanover on the IC was very pleasant and fulfilled its purpose. It was a direct journey, which I generally welcome. The train left Düsseldorf on time and arrived in Hanover without any delays. It was a very clean and well-maintained train. There was also free wifi on board as well as power sockets and a bistro. The service was good.
Advantages
Clean and reliableStable wifiDisadvantages
Somewhat unclean toiletThe train connection was very punctual, which made my journey very pleasant. The price was fair and accessibility was given. Cleanliness and wifi were excellent, but there could be more power sockets. The toilet facilities were a little unclean and the service could be improved. The seats were a little small, but still comfortable. Overall a pleasant option for travelling.
Advantages
No delayCleanlinessDisadvantages
High prices in the bistroThe journey from Düsseldorf main station to Hanover was by IC train. The journey took less than three hours, which I would describe as quick. The train reached Hanover without any delays. There was a bistro on board where you could get delicious food and drinks, albeit at a somewhat overpriced price, in my opinion. Apart from that, the train was well equipped and very clean.
