Pro

On time

Cons

Many passengers

Overall, the train journey from Nuremberg to Dresden was a pleasant and relaxed way to travel. Wifi was available, but was not used. There were enough power sockets and they were also functional. The comfort was okay, unfortunately there were many passengers on the train during this journey, so it was not so quiet. The bins at my seat were regrettably full and defective. However, there were comfortable seats, beautiful scenery and courteous service. This contributed to a positive experience. The availability of snacks and drinks was also provided. All in all, the ride was pleasant and the arrival time was kept to within a few minutes.

Pro

Sockets

Little changeover

Cons

Delay

The journey from Nuremberg to Dresden usually takes about six hours. If delays then add another few minutes, it's really not a nice situation, especially since I was following a strict schedule. All in all, I changed trains once, which was very pleasant. There were good supply options, especially at Dresden's main station. I was also able to receive free wifi a few times, and always charge devices. The train was mostly clean and had a pleasant temperature.
