Although the train from Kassel to Marburg was relatively short, it wasn't too full. The volume was also pleasant, so it was definitely possible to relax. The staff here were very friendly and tickets were checked very quickly. The seats were also very comfortable. Unfortunately, the train was a bit older, so there were no working sockets or internet. There were also no toilets here. Otherwise, everything was quite clean and the train had hardly been delayed. I didn't have to change trains during the journey.
