DelayOn the return journey from Hameln to Hanover, the train had already been 10 minutes late. During the journey it was then 30 minutes due to a technical fault. But that was the only negative thing about the journey. Otherwise, the comfort on the train was quite pleasant and the cleanliness normal. The ticket inspector made a nice impression and also helped other people who did not make their connections due to the delay. All in all, a relaxed journey.
