I really enjoyed my journey from Remscheid to Cologne. The seats were very clean and comfortable, there was plenty of legroom and there were large tables. It was quiet on the train as my compartment wasn't too full. The conductor was very friendly and made announcements for the next connections at some stations. The train and the toilets were clean. The train wasn't late and I didn't have to change trains. However, one criticism was that the display inside did not work. However, the sockets and wifi worked. Apart from that, everything else was fine!
