Advantages
Very fast connectionOn timeCleanDisadvantages
Relatively fullOnly cheap if you book earlyWifi could be more stableThe ICE was equipped with everything you need for a train journey, comfortable seats, wifi, power sockets and an on-board bistro. The wifi could be a bit more stable, but otherwise everything was great. The train left Leipzig on time and arrived in Eisenach on time. The toilets, seats and tables were clean and the service staff polite. The price-performance ratio, if you book well in advance, was also great!
