Advantages

Friendly staff

Comfortable seats and good equipment

Cleanliness and hygiene

No need to change trains

Disadvantages

noisy atmosphere

Delay of 5 minutes

The train from Leipzig to Weimar was not very busy. Unfortunately, however, it was a little too loud in the passenger compartment, as there were quite a lot of schoolchildren travelling at the time. I also have to criticise the cleanliness here. The hygiene in the toilets, on the other hand, was fine. The staff were very friendly and even told the students to be quieter. I found the seats very comfortable and they had plenty of power sockets and a stable wifi connection. Overall, the train was slightly delayed by around 5 minutes. I didn't have to change trains here either.
