Dirty WCI travelled from Hanover to Lüneburg on ICE 1574. Essentially, it was a pleasant journey. The negative thing was that the toilet was quite dirty. Everything else was great. I particularly liked the service, as the staff were always polite and courteous. I particularly liked the short journey time of just under an hour. The train was not delayed at all during the entire journey.

High prices at the bistroMy journey from Hanover to Lüneburg was on the ICE 1574. The journey was quite pleasant so far, as the cosy and comfortable seats offered a nice travel experience. The train left Hanover on time and also arrived in Lüneburg on time. The journey time was just under 1 hour, which I found good. There was plenty of space for luggage on board. There were also plenty of seats available. The train was in a good and well-maintained condition. I found it a bit of a shame that the prices in the bistro were extraordinarily high.

Everything went according to planThe train connection was very punctual overall. The train arrived just a few minutes after the scheduled departure time. The ticket price was reasonable compared to other offers. The services offered, such as comfort and service, justify the price. The train was exceptionally clean. Both the seats and the general areas were well maintained. The wifi on board was average. There were moments with stable connections, but also phases when the connection became weaker. The toilets were clean and well equipped. There were enough toilets for the passengers and the staff regularly checked the condition of the toilets. Overall, the train connection was very satisfactory. The small areas for improvement in terms of wifi could further improve the travelling experience.

Expensive bistroI travelled from Hanover to Lüneburg using the ICE train. The journey took less than an hour and was extremely short. There was a bistro on board where I treated myself to a freshly brewed coffee. However, the price for this was considerable. The train set off on time and reached Lüneburg without delay. All in all, a pleasant and unobtrusive journey that I would repeat at any time.
