reliabilityThe train journey between Magdeburg Central Station and Hanover Central Station on the ICE was just as you would expect from an ICE journey. We departed and arrived on time. All the sanitary facilities and doors on the train worked perfectly. The train was generally clean and hygienic. The train was not too full and the seats were very well equipped, with all the extras such as power sockets, air conditioning and headrests as well as free wifi.
The price-performance ratio was therefore very good.
