Little legroomLittle choice in the bistroThe train journey from Heidelberg to Stuttgart was pleasant for the most part. The punctuality and cleanliness of the train were commendable. The route offered some beautiful views of the countryside. However, the seats were not particularly comfortable and offered little legroom. The staff were friendly, but there seemed to be a lack of choice in snacks and drinks on board. Still, a convenient connection between the cities, albeit with little room for improvement.

The IC 2319 started at the scheduled departure time and reached Stuttgart almost within the scheduled time frame. The interior of the train was functional and comfortable.
