I am very satisfied with my journey from Mannheim to Ulm. The train was on time and good value for money. My seat was comfortable and convenient. Unfortunately, there was no working wifi on board and the service staff were in a bit of a bad mood. Also, the train was very crowded. All in all, however, I would choose the train again any time for the route from Mannheim to Ulm.

Disadvantages
IconCondition of the railway stations
With the direct ICE connection, I only needed 90 minutes from Mannheim to Ulm. The seats have plenty of legroom, even for me as a tall person, and the wifi and power socket make it easy to work. The only thing to criticise was the condition of the stations on the route. Ulm is a major construction site, so I had to carry my suitcase more than I had to roll it.
