Advantages
Direct connectionCan you make something on the sideDisadvantages
Comes late from time to timeI travelled the route with the Deutschland Ticket, so I don't have an extra ticket.
The train offers wifi, but no power sockets. The service is very friendly. And the trains are usually clean. Because of the Deutschland Ticket, the price-performance ratio is great.
