Advantages
IconFree time during the trip
Disadvantages
IconPunctuality
While travelling by ICE, I enjoyed the comfort of my reserved seat, the wifi connection was satisfactory, so I was able to continue my work on my laptop. The toilets were in a hygienic condition. The staff were helpful and polite, I enjoyed the journey.
Advantages
IconComfortable seats with good equipment
IconNo delays and no changes
IconCleanliness
IconPleasant volume and low utilisation
Disadvantages
IconNo ticket inspection
IconInterior displays defective
The train from Kassel to Fulda was not very full, so it was very quiet in the passenger compartment. The seats here were also comfortable, so a relaxed journey was definitely possible. Although there was staff on board, there was no ticket inspection. Therefore, I cannot assess this point. There were also no displays on the train, so you only had the announcements as information. Otherwise, there were enough power sockets and an internet connection. The train was very clean and had not been delayed. I didn't have to change trains here.
