ComfortSocketsSuitcase rack smallI am satisfied with my journey from Friedrichshafen to Ulm. The train was on time and fast. The price was fair and the train was not too crowded. Unfortunately, there are not enough luggage compartments in the regional express, which makes the journey somewhat uncomfortable. Also, the power sockets did not work. However, I will gladly choose the train again for this route in the future.

Capacity utilisationComfortWIFII am very satisfied with my journey from Friedrichshafen Stadtbahnhof to Ulm Hauptbahnhof. The train was fast and clean. The service on board was also very good. On the negative side, there was a high occupancy rate on my day of travel and therefore a lack of comfort. Also, the wifi did not work on my day of travel. All in all, I would use the train again at any time for the Friedrichshafen to Ulm route.
