VolumeThe train journey from Düsseldorf to Heidelberg was positive overall. The cleanliness on the train was good, the seats and toilets were well maintained. However, the food rations could be more varied. There were a lot of passengers on some sections of the journey, which was very noticeable in the noise level. The wifi worked reliably, which made the journey pleasant. The punctuality of the train was remarkable, it arrived as scheduled. The value for money was reasonable, but a bit more expensive compared to other routes. Overall, a comfortable travel option for the route that I would gladly choose again.
