A 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.
