Advantages
Friendly and helpful staffSnack machine availableTrain was on timeCleanliness and comfortDisadvantages
Only one socket per row of seatsToilet in front carriage defectiveThe train from Hamburg to Heide had a normal load factor and the noise level on the train was acceptable. The train was very clean and the seats were very comfortable. Unfortunately, there was only one power socket per row of seats. There was also a snack machine on the train, which was centrally located in the middle of the train. The staff made a friendly impression on me and informed me that the toilet in this carriage was defective and that I should go to the toilet at the end of the train. As the train ran and arrived on schedule and I didn't have to change trains, I found this journey very relaxing!

DelayNo restaurantThe train (IC) appeared very clean and well maintained. The wifi and power sockets worked perfectly. There were enough free seats. It would also have been possible to reserve a seat. The staff were very friendly and communicative.
The seats were very comfortable and offered sufficient seating space.
As always, the connection was transfer-free. Unfortunately, there was a delay of around 20 minutes. Disappointingly, there has been no restaurant on IC trains since December 2023. This is quite a shame.
