The train connection impressed with its outstanding punctuality. The train arrived exactly on time, which is particularly important for business travellers. The ticket price is reasonable and offers good value for money. The cleanliness of the train is exemplary and the carriages are thoroughly cleaned. The free wifi is stable and enables productive work during the journey. The toilets are always clean and well maintained. The seating comfort is excellent, with sufficient legroom and comfortable seats. All in all, a first-class train journey that I am happy to recommend.

Disadvantages
IconLack of cleanliness
The train journey from Emden to Bremen leads through a quiet, sometimes idyllic landscape, which is particularly relaxing. The train was on time and offered solid facilities, which made for a pleasant journey. However, the service on board left a lot to be desired. There was no dining car at all. The cleanliness in some carriages could also be better. For travellers who value a direct and scenic route, this connection is nevertheless recommended.
