Advantages
Convenient changeover and no delaysCleanlinessComfortable seats and good equipmentFriendly staffDisadvantages
Lack of internet connectionFull and loud trainFrom Schwein to Hamburg, a change of trains had been necessary in Ludwigslust. This was very relaxing, as there was a 15-minute connecting time and both trains were on time. On the first train, everything was clean and the seats were very comfortable. However, I missed the internet connection here. The staff there were also friendly. The second train had been very busy and was noisy. Everything else, such as the cleanliness and comfort of the seats, was good. There was also an on-board bistro.
Advantages
Comfortable and clean seatsSufficient equipmentSnack and coffee machine in the centre of the trainon time and without changing trainsDisadvantages
No staff and therefore no ticket inspectionThe train from Schwerin to Hamburg was not very full and therefore not very noisy. You had the opportunity to buy snacks and coffee on the train. I found the seats comfortable and there was plenty of legroom. There were also plenty of power sockets and a stable internet connection. The toilets were also very hygienic. The train had not been delayed and I didn't need to change trains for my journey. Unfortunately, I realised that there was no staff on board, which is why no ticket checks were carried out. Only the train driver made the announcements for the connections. Otherwise a really good journey!
Advantages
Punctual departure and arrivalFriendly staffDisadvantages
Dirty WCSound quality of the announcementsThe wifi and power sockets worked well, which allowed me to work productively. The seats were comfortable and the train was pleasantly quiet.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately, the toilet was dirty, but there were plenty of alternatives.
In addition, the announcements during the journey were sometimes difficult to understand.
The train departed on time and arrived on time.
