Advantages
IconComfortable seats
IconVery punctual ICE
IconNice staff
Disadvantages
IconLow-performance wifi
The staff on the ICE were again very nice and helpful. The toilets were clean and hygienic. Disinfectant was available in most of the toilets on the ICE. The train departed on time from Neumünster and arrived on time in Kiel. The seats in the open-plan carriage and in the restaurant were particularly comfortable. There was also enough capacity in terms of seats in all carriages of the train. It was a pity that the wifi was quite weak. Unfortunately, this happens more often. The price of the ticket was more than acceptable. I highly recommend travelling by train on this route.
