Limited selection in the bistroMy journey from Frankfurt am Main to Regensburg went without any complications. I had to change trains once in Nuremberg, but this went without a hitch. The trains were both very clean and well maintained. There was a bistro on board, but the choice of food was extremely limited. The trains were not delayed and I reached my destination on time. The service on board was good as the staff were open to questions.

High prices in the bistroI travelled from Frankfurt am Main to Regensburg and had to change trains in Nuremberg. This was straightforward as the stations were well equipped and well signposted. On the train, I treated myself to a tasty meal in the bistro. However, the prices there were a little inflated. The train was very comfortable, which was also due to the air conditioning.

Little choice in the bistroThe train journey from Frankfurt to Regensburg was satisfactory overall. The train was clean, the seats comfortable and the staff friendly. The punctuality was impressive, but there was a lack of information in the event of short delays. The scenic route was appealing. Unfortunately, the food options on the train were limited. Value for money was acceptable, but a cheaper option would be desirable. Overall a pleasant journey, with small areas for improvement.
