Advantages
Friendly staffSnack machine availableInformation about delay calledDisadvantages
Delay of 10 minutesHigh utilisationFrom Riesa to Leipzig, it was possible to travel directly, quickly and without changing trains on the Regionalexpress to Leipzig Hbf. The train had been very clean, but had a high occupancy rate, so I had to stand, which is why I can't say anything about the seating comfort. The facilities on the train were very good and the wifi connection was stable. The staff had been friendly and provided a lot of information. There was also a snack machine in the middle of the train. The train arrived at Leipzig Hbf with a delay of 10 minutes. The reason given was the high occupancy rate.
