The journey to Erlangen was very pleasant and had only minimal delays. Train was equipped as always, as one is used to from Deutsche Bahn. However, the train was very crowded as many use the Deutschland Ticket. Overall, the train was reasonably clean. On the whole, I really enjoy travelling by train as it is very reasonably priced and very relaxing to travel with.
