ExpensiveSometimes no seatYou might miss your connecting trainI travelled by train from Stuttgart main station via Karlsruhe to Offenburg in January 2023. Everything was great. The train connection was on time and I easily reached the connecting train. The comfortable seats on the regional train deserve a mention. The RE7 also has two boarding points for handicapped persons. Unfortunately, there is no toilet. The train runs quietly and comfortably, so that working on a laptop is guaranteed. It is definitely recommended to reserve a seat in advance. I am very satisfied and will definitely travel with DB again.
