reliabilityCateringAfter successfully changing trains in Saarbrücken, we travelled on to Berlin on the ICE 874. Unfortunately, this train was delayed by almost 45 minutes on the route, which was very annoying, and the catering in the on-board bistro was rather poor, although the staff were very courteous and attentive
Nevertheless, the price was extremely reasonable and the wifi worked perfectly for work, I'd like to keep it that way.
