Advantages
IconPunctuality and no need to change trains
IconComfortable seats with good equipment
IconHygiene on the train
Disadvantages
IconNo staff available
IconAutomatic announcements defective
IconHigh utilisation and high volume
IconCleanliness in the passenger compartment
The train from Leipzig to Dresden was very busy, so it was also very noisy in the passenger compartment. Unfortunately, this also affected the cleanliness. The hygiene in the toilets, on the other hand, was acceptable. Unfortunately, there was no staff on board, which is why there was no ticket inspection and no manual announcements. Disappointingly, the automatic announcements were also faulty, so you could only use the displays on the train as a source of information. Otherwise, the seats were very comfortable. Power sockets and an internet connection were also available. Overall, despite the high capacity utilisation, the train was not delayed and I did not have to change trains during the journey.
