Advantages
Fast rideDisadvantages
Full trainI travelled from Münster to Osnabrück with IC 2022. It was a very fast journey in second class and without seat reservation. The train was relatively full that day and I didn't get a seat. The journey took less than half an hour. The train was relatively clean as far as I could tell. As far as I know, there was wifi, but I didn't use it because of the short journey time. I cannot evaluate the service on board.
Advantages
CleanQuickDisadvantages
A little crowdedThe journey from Münster to Osnabrück was with IC 2022 in second class. As the journey was relatively quick, I did not make a reservation. I had to stand because the train was very full that day, but that was not so bad. The train was clean and in good general condition. The train left on time and arrived in Osnabrück on time. There was no wifi. I did not use a power socket.
Advantages
CleanGood serviceDisadvantages
...The journey from Münster to Osnabrück was very speedy. It only took 20 minutes and that with the IC 2022. The train was on time. It was not particularly busy and I got a seat. The train was in good condition and clean. The service on board was good, at least what I noticed on the short route. The train was not equipped with wifi. However, due to the speed of the journey, this is acceptable.
Advantages
Very fastDisadvantages
DelayThe journey was from Münster Hauptbahnhof to Osnabrück with IC 2022. I travelled second class. There is nothing to criticise about the train, which was clean and well maintained. The journey took less than half an hour, which I would describe as very fast. Unfortunately, the train was a little late, so I almost missed my connecting train, but apart from that I can't say anything negative about the journey. It was relatively unspectacular.
Advantages
Fast arrivalDisadvantages
Somewhat full / many passengersI travelled from Münster to Osnabrück in second class on IC 2022. The journey takes less than 30 minutes, which is very pleasant. On this day, the train was relatively full, but there were still seats available. The train was unremarkable in terms of visual condition and cleanliness. There were no ticket checks on the short route, so I could not gain an impression of the German railway staff.
Advantages
QuickCleanlinessOn timeWIFISocketsDisadvantages
PriceI recently took a train journey from Münster to Osnabrück and have to say that I am somewhat disappointed. Although the train journey itself was pleasant and on time, the price was not as cheap as I had expected. There were no special offers or discounts and I found the price a bit high compared to other means of transport. The train was clean and comfortable, but there were no extra amenities such as wifi or power sockets, which I would have expected on a train journey. There was also no option to buy snacks or drinks, which was another minus point for me. Overall, the train journey from Münster to Osnabrück was pleasant, but I don't think I would travel this route by train again if there were cheaper alternatives. The price was just not reasonable for what was offered. There are probably better ways to get from A to B that are cheaper and with more amenities.

PriceThe journey by train from Münster to Osnabrück was satisfactory overall. The train was on time and the journey went without incident. The interior was clean and comfortable, but it could do with a little renovation. The staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the price of the journey was not that cheap. Compared to other means of transport, it was much more expensive. Still, I think it's a pleasant alternative to other transport options if you put up with the extra cost. Overall, I would recommend the train as a transport option, but only if you are willing to pay a higher price.

PriceThe train journey by ICE from Münster to Osnabrück was a pleasant and comfortable experience. The modern interior was clean and well-maintained, and the seats offered sufficient legroom and comfort for the short distance. The train was also on time and the journey went smoothly, which is a big plus for travellers. However, the price of the ride was a bit high compared to other modes of transport and there were no special offers or discounts, which can be disappointing for many travellers. Nevertheless, the trip was satisfactory overall and I would do it again if the situation calls for it. The leisure facilities on board, such as free wifi and a well-stocked on-board library, also contributed to a pleasant journey.
