One could still work on the accessibilityThe train journey from Leipzig to Halle was alright overall. The accessibility at the station was good, but I could improve in a few places. The train was on time and clean. The toilet and the bistro why in decent condition. The seats were very comfortable and very soft, but lacked a power socket.

Full trainDirtyThe journey from Leipzig to Halle turned out to be a practical connection between these two cities. This was positive, as was the reasonable price-performance ratio. Negatives against warm that the train had been crowded to the maximum. There were no seats, even the parking spaces were scarce. In addition, the train was quite dirty and worn. The floor was sticky and the windows were dirty.
Advantages

NoneI had an average experience on the train journey from Leipzig to Halle. The toilet facilities were clean and looked well-maintained, which was positive. The comfort of the seats was acceptable, but could be improved a bit to make longer journeys more pleasant. The staff were friendly and helpful, which was a positive for the service. The availability of power outlets at the seats was convenient for charging electronic devices. The seats were ok but could do with better padding. Overall, the train journey was a good travel experience with room for improvement in the area of seat comfort and upholstery.
Advantages
On timeClear displays on the trainComfortable seatsDisadvantages
Could be cleanerMy train journey from Leipzig to Halle with the regional express 26018 was altogether practical and time-saving. The departure was on time and the seats were comfortable enough for the short journey time. The view of the passing landscape was pleasant and the displays on the train clearly informed about the next stops. However, the cleanliness on the train could be improved as some areas were not quite tidy.
Advantages
PunctualityComfortable seatsDisadvantages
Barren landscapesThe train journey from Leipzig to Halle with the regional express 26018 was a positive experience overall. The comfort of the seats, the punctual journey and the possibility to buy snacks on board made the short journey pleasant and stress-free.

Advantages
No delayCleanlinessDisadvantages
Full trainIt was a journey with the regional express 26016. There were no real abnormalities. The train was not delayed. The equipment did not really stand out from other trains. There was no wifi. The train was clean and well-maintained, considering that it was no longer the youngest. On my day of travel, the train was quite full and I had to stand. However, this was not a problem. It is not possible to reserve a seat on this train.
Advantages
Beautiful landscapeGood wifiPunctualityDisadvantages
NoneThis trip was business related for me and so I didn't have to pay for it. Nevertheless, I saw the price and found it reasonable. You have to consider that it is a very fast and climate-neutral means of travel. You also don't have to worry about anything and can enjoy the journey. The wifi on the train was good and the arrival times were respected. So I could work on my laptop during the journey and enjoy the beautiful landscape along the route.
The train was not busy, so it was very pleasant and quiet on the train.

CleanlinessCrowdedThe train journey from Leipzig to Halle was OK, the train was on time and the seats were comfortable enough.
It was also nice to have wifi so you could surf on the go.
However, the train was quite crowded and there was not enough space for my luggage.
It was also a bit noisy at times and the toilets could have been cleaner.
Overall, it was an average trip, nothing special.
Advantages
On timeDisadvantages
Not cleanThe journey from Leipzig to Halle was made with the regional express 26018. A seat reservation is not possible here. It should be emphasised that the train was not delayed and arrived in Halle on time. Technically, the train seemed fine, but it was extremely dirty and the floor was sticky. I didn't notice anything from the staff on board and therefore can't evaluate them. There was also no wifi, which is not untypical for regional express trains.
Advantages
On timeDisadvantages
Dirty trainI travelled from Leipzig to Halle on regional express 26018. The train departed on time and arrived on time. From a purely visual point of view, the condition of the train was mediocre. Inside it was relatively dirty, the seats were very run down. The regional express usually does not have wifi. On this day, there were enough seats available, reservations would not have been possible anyway. The journey takes about 30 minutes.
Advantages
CleanFriendly staffLegroomSimple bookingDisadvantages
DelayI recently travelled from Leipzig to Halle by train and overall it was a pleasant experience. The train was clean and comfortable and I had enough space for my legs, the staff on board were quite friendly and took good care of you. The journey time was also quite short and there were enough stops and convenient to get off and on, however one downside was that the train was sometimes a bit late. Overall though, it was a good option for a quick and comfortable journey.
