Advantages
IconFast ticket inspection
IconNot highly utilised and pleasant volume
IconComfortable seats with good equipment
IconCleanliness and hygiene
Disadvantages
IconDelay of 35 minutes
This journey had definitely been better than the outward journey to Nuremberg. There had been staff on board who carried out a quick ticket check. The train was also not very full and the volume in the passenger compartment was pleasant. The train itself was very clean and the toilets were hygienic. The seats were comfortable and, as on the outward journey, had a very large table with plenty of legroom. There were also plenty of power sockets and a stable internet connection. Unfortunately, the train had been delayed by 35 minutes due to storm damage. Just as well that I didn't have to change trains here.
