The train journey from Mannheim to Ludwigshafen am Rhein is really quick and you don't have to change trains. Unfortunately, there is no wifi and power sockets are only available with the "first class ticket". The comfort is great. The seats are comfortable and the noise level is usually very pleasant. You have to bring your own catering, you can't buy anything on the train. There is no reservation option, but the service is still friendly. The train was a few minutes late. I had price level 5, which means I can travel even further from Mannheim. The price-performance ratio is great.
