IconA little little time between changes
The journey from Munich to Mainz went smoothly for the most part. I changed trains in Mannheim, here the time for changing between trains could have been more generous. Otherwise, both trains were clean and well-maintained and also on time. The service on board is nothing to criticise, all staff were always polite and friendly. In terms of price, the journey was reasonable.

I travelled from Munich to Mainz and had to change trains once in Mannheim. The change was straightforward, as there was plenty of time for it. I also found my way around easily thanks to the signposting. The journey was very smooth overall, with no incidents worth mentioning. Well-kept and clean. Technically, they seemed very sophisticated. I reached my destination without any delays. The service on board was good, as the staff were extremely helpful.
