Very high capacity utilisationReturn journey from Lüneburg to Hanover. Today I took the Intercity Express (ICE) from Lüneburg to Hanover. The journey took about 1 hour. It was very crowded on the train, but after a long search I found a seat. I had working power sockets at my seat and good wifi throughout the journey. I bought coffee and chocolate bars in the on-board bistro. The staff were helpful and friendly. The compartment was clean and air-conditioned, but it was a bit noisy due to the high occupancy of the train. I booked my ticket via the Deutsche Bahn app, where I could also have made a seat reservation. The toilets were intact and working. As it was a direct connection, I didn't have to change trains.
Advantages

DelayThe journey from Lüneburg to Hanover was on ICE 2187, with Hanover being a stopover. I was not very enthusiastic about this journey, because the train was considerably late, so that I missed my connecting train in Hanover. The train itself was in good condition. It was clean and hygienic on board, which also applied to the toilets. There was free wifi and power sockets were also available.
Advantages

No wifiThe journey from Lüneburg to Hanover was on IC 2187, in second class. I did not reserve a seat. However, there were plenty of free seats. The service on board was very good, the staff was always friendly and polite. The train departed from Lüneburg on time and arrived in Hanover after just under an hour. What I missed a bit was the free wifi. Otherwise, a pleasant connection.
Advantages

A little crowdedThe train I took from Lüneburg to Hanover was an ICE, which arrived on time. Both in Lüneburg and in Hanover. It was pleasantly cool, which was probably due to a functioning air conditioning system. Another positive aspect of my journey was the very well-functioning wifi. This allowed me to watch YouTube on the journey. Apparently the train had been freshly cleaned, as it was very clean. Unfortunately, there were only a few seats left, so I had to sit in a corner next to the door because I didn't want to sit next to other people.
Advantages

No wifiI travelled from Lüneburg to Hanover on IC 2187. The journey was in second class and I did not reserve a seat. It was a very pleasant journey with almost no complications. The only thing that could have topped this would have been if the train had provided free wifi. There were no delays for the entire duration of the journey. The train was in a clean and well-maintained condition.

Little delayI travelled from Lüneburg to Hanover with IC2187. The journey was in second class. I did not reserve a seat and still got one. The train was very clean and well maintained. The seats were almost new and very comfortable. The journey time was very short, which I found positive. In terms of price, the journey was unbeatably cheap. So even the slight delay of the train is forgivable. I finally got my connecting train in Hanover.

Long travel timeI travelled from Lüneburg to Hanover with the IC 2187. The journey was in second class and without seat reservation. The train was in a very good and well-maintained condition without any visible defects.
There were no delays during the entire journey. However, the journey dragged on a bit and the journey time was a bit too long for me personally at over an hour. The service on board was not to be complained about, there was wifi and power sockets.
