Pro

Volume alright

Cleanliness in order

Staff friendly

Seats and equipment perfect

Punctuality of the train

Cons

Folding tables could have been cleaner

The ICE train went very quickly from Kiel to Bremen Hbf. The train was well filled, but was still very quiet, for that in the passenger compartment. The staff were also good and helpful with ticket checks and made constant announcements. The seats were comfortable and had power sockets and an internet connection. Cleanliness was acceptable, but the folding tables by the seats could have been cleaned again. The train ran without delay, so it was a perfect train ride!
