No wifiThe journey from Kassel to Nuremberg was quite straightforward. I had to change trains once in Frankfurt. The trains were not delayed and I arrived in Nuremberg on time. In addition, both trains were extremely clean and hygienic, which also applies to the toilets. There was a bistro with a wide selection of food and drinks. The service was correspondingly good. The only thing that bothered me a little was the lack of wifi.

Expensive bistroThe journey from Kassel to Nuremberg involved a change of trains in Frankfurt am Main. The trains arrived on time and I also reached Nuremberg without delay. On board it was averagely clean, at least not dirty. The on-board bistro offered a good selection of food and drinks, but the prices were relatively high in my opinion. The scenery along the route was beautiful.

DelayMy journey from Kassel to Nuremberg was fine, I only had to change trains once. However, this was uncomplicated. The seats on the train were comfortable and the carriage was clean. The opportunity to look at the scenery or relax during the journey was definitely a plus. The connecting train was late and so I didn't arrive in Nuremberg on time. Otherwise, the journey was fine.
Advantages

Many changesThe journey from Kassel to Nuremberg was pleasant for the most part, although the many changes did bother me a little. Apart from that, the trains were extremely comfortable. The air conditioning also ensured pleasant room temperatures. It was clean, both in the carriages and in the toilets. As far as I remember, there were no delays on the entire journey. The service was also good.
Advantages

Stressful changeoverI travelled from Kassel to Nuremberg and had to change trains once in Frankfurt. This was a bit stressful as the time was very tight. Apart from that, the journey wasn't too bad, especially because of the good comfort on the trains. There were no delays during the journey. The price of the journey was quite reasonable. The trains were in good technical condition, in my opinion.
Advantages

Limited selection in the bistroSporadic InternetThe journey from Kassel to Nuremberg by train was efficient and scenic. The departure was on time. The cleanliness of the train was exemplary. The seat quality was good, with sufficient space. One drawback was that the wifi was sporadic, which can be frustrating on a longer journey. Also disappointing was the limited range of food on offer in the on-board bistro. On a positive note, the quiet journey made work easier.
