Advantages
IconVery pleasant ride
Disadvantages
IconThe driver's statements were too quiet. They were not understood
In my opinion, this has been one of my best journeys by train? The wifi worked, so did the power sockets. The train was very clean and the controllers were very friendly with their passengers. The prices were also relatively low and the journey itself was very pleasant. I can only recommend it to everyone to travel from Stuttgart to Tübingen by train.
Advantages
IconSimplicity
Disadvantages
IconMany delays
The service is very friendly and helpful. There was wifi and a power socket on the train which worked perfectly. When the train is crowded, it is also a bit noisy, but most people also stick to the quiet area.The seats are very comfortable and you have a lot of space. It is also very clean everywhere, including the toilets. Unfortunately, the trains are often unpunctual or even cancelled altogether. But still, the price-performance ratio is good.
Advantages
IconGood value
IconWithout changing
IconFast
Disadvantages
IconNothing
The train journey from Stuttgart main station to Tübingen main station by regional train went very smoothly without any delays. The journey took 1 hour. The train was normally clean. I would say standard Deutsche Bahn level. There was no catering, but otherwise the train is great and there are power sockets and friendly staff. I think the price-performance ratio is very good in this case. But it also falls under the BW tariff.
Advantages
IconQuick
IconOften
IconClean
Disadvantages
IconFull
IconExpensive
IconWhat late
The train left Stuttgart on time and arrived late in Tübingen. The train was full, but there were still seats available, the sockets worked and the lights and air conditioning worked too. The train takes quite a long time, considering that the route is actually very short
Advantages
IconPunctuality
IconService
Disadvantages
IconNone
A very relaxing journey that I would repeat at any time if the opportunity arose. The comfort was good, the seat was very cosy and there was plenty of legroom. The equipment wasn't bad either, the wifi didn't work, but the sockets did. Definitely recommended!
