I travelled with the ICE 510 from Ulm to Cologne, Mannheim was a stopover on this journey. I travelled second class. It was a quiet night journey with very few passengers. The train was in a neat and clean condition, the seats were practically new. There were no delays during the entire journey. Unfortunately, the train did not have wifi, which would have made the journey even more pleasant.
