Advantages
Cleanliness insideComfortable seats with full equipmentFriendly staffOn time and no changeoverDisadvantages
Unhygienic toilet and strange odourExterior cleanlinessThe train from Weimar to Leipzig was quite short. Just as well, there was no high capacity utilisation on this day, which is why the noise level on the train remained low. The cleanliness here was also okay. However, the toilets were a bit unhygienic and didn't have a good odour. Unfortunately, the outside of the train was also very dirty, so the view through the window was very limited. Otherwise, the seats were very comfortable and fully equipped. The staff were very friendly and even helped older people to get on and off the train. Overall, the train was on time and I didn't have to change trains.
