Advantages
IconVery pleasant ride
IconChanging trains was not necessary
IconNo delays had
Disadvantages
IconVery expensive price - €71.90
IconTrain was very full
IconRelaxation hardly possible - many small children
The train ride from Rostock to Magdeburg proved to be a pleasant journey. It took about 5 hours, which was relatively long. Nevertheless, I arrived in Magdeburg at the agreed time. Moreover, it was not necessary to change trains, which made it even more relaxing. The only negative thing was the price of €71.90, which is quite expensive, and that the train was very crowded with lots of small children who were noisy. Nevertheless, it was a solid train ride.
