Advantages
Short travel timeGood staffSeatsDisadvantages
High utilisationMuch noiseThe journey from Hamburg to Oldenburg by DB was good, but the load factor was quite high. Nevertheless, I had a good seat and plenty of legroom. There was good internet and everything was clean, even the toilets. I would certainly choose to travel with DB again!
Advantages

DelayWIFIThe train from Hamburg to Oldenburg via Bremen was 30 minutes late in Hamburg, but the train arrived early enough for us to just manage to change trains in Bremen. It was therefore good that the changeover time in Bremen was quite long at almost 30 minutes. The trains were both very clean, including the toilets. There was also wifi on the ICE from wifi to Bremen. It worked, but was quite slow and not suitable for YouTube videos. The price for the journey was very good thanks to the Sparpreis.

UtilisationMy journey with Deutsche Bahn from Hamburg Hbf to Oldenburg Hbf was really recommendable.
The journey time was perfect and not too long.
The service en route was good and the staff nice.
Unfortunately, the train was very busy, but this was not a major problem.
