High utilisationRubbish bin overflowingCleanliness in the passenger compartmentThis time I took the S-Bahn from Hanover to Hameln. At the beginning in the city area it was very crowded, so I couldn't find a seat. Later, I did find a seat. However, it had been dirty. The rubbish bin was overflowing, so the cleanliness suffered. Surprisingly, the toilets were clean. Despite the high occupancy rate, the train had been on time, so I could enjoy the rest of the journey.
