Advantages
InternetQuiet rideGood valueDisadvantages
Rubbish bins overflowToilet hygieneDelayAfter a visit to Sylt in Westerland it was back to Niebüll and I was really surprised by the internet and the quiet ride. However, it bothers me that the rubbish bins are not emptied often enough. The toilets could definitely be cleaned more often. I was also particularly bothered by the fact that the train was almost half an hour late, causing stress. Nevertheless, I think the price-performance ratio is good.

Sylt Shuttle Plus
About
Sylt Shuttle Plus was a unique passenger train service operated by Deutsche Bahn (DB) that connected Niebüll and Westerland on the island of Sylt, Germany. Unlike the primary Sylt Shuttle, which transports vehicles, the \Plus\" service was designed for passengers without cars. It involved coupling a Class 628 diesel multiple unit to the rear of the car shuttle train. Introduced in 2015, the Sylt Shuttle Plus gained notoriety for its often-empty carriages and longer travel times compared to regional trains, leading to its nickname \"ghost train.\" The service was discontinued in December 2024."
