My journey from Hannover Hbf to Bremen Hbf with Deutsche Bahn was very satisfying. The journey time was quite short, which was positive, as was the fact that there was free internet. It was also clean. Unfortunately, the train was quite busy, so it was quite noisy, which I found annoying.
Advantages
IconWork can be done while driving
IconIt is very environmentally friendly
IconVery inexpensive compared to a car
Disadvantages
IconFailures may occur
IconDelays may occur
The train journey from Hanover to Bremen was once again a very pleasant one. With reserved seats for me and my friends, everything went smoothly and the wifi worked great. There was a small selection of drinks, which were brought by the very friendly staff within a few minutes. The toilet was very clean, as were our seats and the rest of the train. So the value for money cannot be beaten in my opinion.
Advantages
IconPleasant temperature
IconFriendly staff
IconOnboard restaurant available
Disadvantages
IconHigh utilisation
IconNo wifi
Since the Intercity was released for the Deutschlandticket, I was able to book it as a journey. Because of this, it had been very crowded. However, the temperature was pleasantly regulated and it was accordingly quiet in the train. There was no wifi on the train, but there were power sockets. The staff were friendly and it was possible to buy something from the on-board restaurant. So this trip was definitely recommendable!
Advantages
IconPrice performance
Disadvantages
IconNone
For my journey from Hannover Hauptbahnhof to Bremen Hauptbahnhof, I took the ICE 2034 on 20 June, which was on time both on departure and arrival. I would always recommend travelling by train for this route, as it takes about twice as long by car than by train. Despite the lack of seat reservations, there were also plenty of free seats on the route from Hanover to Bremen.
Advantages

Disadvantages
IconNone
On 20 June I travelled from Hannover Hauptbahnhof to Bremen Hauptbahnhof with the ICE 2034 and can only recommend the journey. The ICE was very neat and tidy, left and arrived on time and was overall very comfortable. The conductor was also very friendly and even without a seat reservation you got a free seat. As the journey only takes about 1 hour, the trip is also much faster than by car.

Facilities: The train I took had wifi and power sockets. It was great to be online and charge my electronic devices during the journey. Comfort: The seats were quite comfortable and provided enough space for me. The volume on the train was pleasant and did not disturb my journey. As for food, unfortunately there was no on-board bistro service on my train, but I had brought snacks myself, so that was not a big problem. Service: The train staff were very friendly and helpful. I was able to reserve my seats in advance, which made planning my journey easier. The information about departure and arrival times was clear and provided in a timely manner. Cleanliness: The cleanliness on the train was fine. The toilets were cleaned regularly and were acceptable. Travel: Fortunately, I did not have to change trains during my journey from Hanover to Bremen as there was a direct connection. The train arrived on time and the journey went smoothly. Value for money: Overall, I found the value for money of the train journey to be reasonable. The amenities and comfort offered were worth the price.

IconCleanliness
The journey from Hanover to Bremen was solid overall. The train's facilities could be improved, especially in terms of wifi and availability of power sockets. Comfort was average, with acceptable volume and seating comfort, but limited legroom. Service was okay, but sometimes lacked comprehensive information. Cleanliness was acceptable, although some areas needed more thorough cleaning. The journey was mostly on time, but there was a small delay due to a signal malfunction. Overall, the experience was satisfactory, but there is room for improvement.
Advantages
IconPunctuality
Disadvantages
IconInternet
I recently travelled from Hanover to Bremen, although I don't actually travel this route. I noticed that the train was more punctual than in my city. Unfortunately, the internet is also bad here during the journey and the train was very full.
Advantages
IconFast
IconNice staff
IconNot overcrowded
Disadvantages
IconExpensive
I booked the train ticket shortly before departure, which is why it was relatively more expensive than normal. However, the additional comfort compared to regional transport was worth the price. We arrived on time in Bremen quickly and easily without changing trains. The train was not full, had comfortable seats with enough privacy and the staff were also in a good mood. The view was also quite nice, especially near Nienburg.
Advantages
IconFast direct connection
IconNo stops en route
IconClean trains and friendly staff
Disadvantages
IconWifi sometimes not available or very slow
It is very easy to travel from Hanover to Bremen on the ICE train. The journey only takes about an hour and there are no other stops en route. The trains are clean, the staff are friendly and the seats are comfortable. Sometimes the internet doesn't work or is very slow.
Advantages
IconCleanliness
Disadvantages
IconNone
I definitely have to praise the cleanliness. On the return journey, I had nothing but positive experiences, just like on the outward journey. The train was punctual as usual. The only potential disadvantage was that there were a lot of passengers on the train. I was able to book the ticket on the website without any problems and at a fair price. I give the train journey a total of 4 stars, but still recommend it.

The journey with Deutsche Bahn from Hannover Hbf to Bremen Hbf was really highly recommended for my requirements. It was quick, the capacity was unfortunately a little high, but still bearable and the service en route was really good. The staff were very friendly, the comfort was good and the seats were comfortable. Only the cleanliness of the toilets could be criticised, but this was not a major problem.
Advantages

Disadvantages
IconEverything went smoothly
The trains were always on time, which makes it easier to plan journeys. I found the reliability very positive. The ticket price was reasonable, but there is room for improvement to be even better. The wifi was stable, but the speed could be improved. The toilets were mostly clean and well maintained, a positive experience. The seats were comfortable but for longer journeys slightly improved padding could be more comfortable. Overall a satisfactory experience with room for small improvements.
