I often take the train because a friend of mine lives in Düsseldorf. Normally everything goes smoothly on these journeys, but on this one there was a problem and that was that the train was 1 hour late. However, the toilets were clean, the staff were nice and helpful and the wifi was stable and there were sockets.

I often travel this route because a friend of mine lives in Düsseldorf. However, the problem with this journey was that we were two hours late and that we didn't arrive in Düsseldorf at the end, but the train let us passengers off one stop before Düsseldorf. There was internet on the train, but it wasn't very stable, but there were sockets that I could use to charge my devices. The toilets were clean, but the smell was a bit strong. The staff had offered us passengers a water as compensation for the delay.
