My train journey from Mannheim to Saarbrücken was positive overall. The equipment was modern and comfortable. The volume on the train was pleasant and there was not so much going on. I was very surprised by the service with the friendly staff. The cleanliness on the train was good, but I would have liked to see more hygiene in the toilets. I found the price-performance ratio to be fair.
