Advantages
PunctualityAnnouncements workedDisadvantages
Overcrowded trainDirtyNo ticket controlThe regional express to Hildesheim main station had been very full this time. I didn't get a seat until Hildesheim, so I can't judge how the seats are. However, the crowd made the train dirty and the toilet was constantly occupied. What I liked was that the announcements worked and the train was on time. However, my ticket was not checked, which was understandable due to the crowded train.
