Delay (1st train)On the journey from Bamberg to Hamburg, I had to change trains once in Berlin Hauptbahnhof. There, I had had 16 minutes to change trains. However, as the first train was 15 minutes late, it was possible to miss the connecting train. But the staff gave me friendly advice and let me wait for the connecting train so that I could change trains in a relaxed manner. Overall, it was a relaxed journey on both trains because everything worked. The cleanliness, comfort and service were also perfect on both trains.
