The journey from Hamburg to Schwerin can be made without changing trains. The train had not been full and so you had a relaxed journey.

Otherwise, the toilets and passenger area were very clean and the staff were friendly and carried out a smooth ticket check. The seats were comfortable and the train had been on time.

IconLittle legroom
IconRelatively full
The wifi worked well throughout the journey and was fast. Unfortunately, the number of sockets was limited. The train was full, so there were not many seats available. The staff were friendly. The interior was also extremely clean, including the toilets. The on-board restaurant offered a wide selection of food and drinks. Furthermore, the train departed and arrived on time.

IconService
In my opinion, the journey still has room for improvement. As expected, the train was of course late and the seats were unfortunately quite hard, so I had back pain at the end of the journey. At least I didn't have to change trains. Disappointingly, the toilets were a disaster. But the price was very reasonable.
