Advantages
Uncomplicated and fastGood wifi connectionDisadvantages
Somewhat unclean on the trainI boarded the train in Rastatt and travelled to Passau main station, making a stopover in Karlsruhe and Nuremberg where I had to change trains. Nevertheless, the journey was very pleasant and, in my opinion, went very quickly. On the train I sat by the windows, which were very clean, and was able to watch the landscape wonderfully during the journey. The seats were comfortable and spacious. However, the floor was a little unclean. The toilet facilities were well maintained and well equipped, but there wasn't too much space in the toilet. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the wifi connection on the train was very stable throughout the journey. I reached my destination on time and was very satisfied with this train connection.
