Advantages
IconSeats are comfortable
Disadvantages
IconNo weakness
The train journey was rather pleasant for me. The seats were very comfortable and the service was also very friendly. There was free wifi for everyone and an extra socket where you could charge your electronic devices. You could buy your tickets from the station as well as online. The train itself was very clean. The train arrived at its destination on time. I found the price very reasonable for the tickets.
Advantages
IconWithout changeover
IconNice staff
Disadvantages
IconDelay
IconA bit dirty on the train
The journey itself was okay. A big advantage was that we travelled from Osnabrück to Frankfurt am Main without changing trains, which was much more relaxed. The staff on the train were also very friendly when checking the tickets. Unfortunately, the train was a little late again, so we reached our destination later. Unfortunately, it was also a bit dirty on the train, so extra staff should be employed if necessary. Otherwise the journey was fine!

This train connection was a direct connection. We arrived in Frankfurt only slightly late, so we were quite punctual. Coffee was also available in the on-board bistro at an acceptable price. However, the seats were quite dirty despite being comfortable. As the tickets were quite cheap, we will be booking a train connection again next time.
