Advantages
Quick trip ( 1 hour)Disadvantages
Little delayThe journey went with the ICE 527 from Frankfurt to Nuremberg, also calling at Würzburg. We travelled in second class and also made a reservation. However, there were enough seats available. The train covered the distance from Würzburg to Nuremberg in just under an hour. However, the train was slightly late. Regarding the condition of the train, it can be said that it was averagely well-maintained, not particularly conspicuous. The service on board was good.
Advantages
Fast travelOn timeDisadvantages
Not so cleanThe journey was from Hamburg to Nuremberg, with a stop in Würzburg as well. The journey was made on ICE 881, second class. The train was punctual throughout, it also arrived on time.
I had reserved a seat and got it. The train was a bit dirty.
There was wifi on the train, which I used. The staff were always friendly and polite.
Advantages
Pleasant rideSufficient seatingDisadvantages
NoneI took the Deutsche Bahn ICE from Cologne to Munich, taking the Würzburg - Nuremberg route as well. The distance is not very long, so it was completed very quickly by ICE. There were enough seats available. The on-board bistro provided delicious coffee. As far as I can remember, the train was slightly delayed. The train itself was in good visual condition. The German Rail staff were friendly.
Advantages
Cleanliness and hygiene in toilets and on the trainFriendly staffVery good facilities with refilled snack machinePunctuality and no changesDisadvantages
A bit crowded and too loudNo legroomThe train from Würzburg to Nuremberg was a bit too full and too loud, so it wasn't possible to relax. I also found the seats here uncomfortable, as there was no legroom. Otherwise, the staff on the train were very friendly and carried out a smooth ticket inspection. There were also plenty of power sockets, a stable internet connection and a stocked snack machine. I also found the cleanliness to be good and the toilets were hygienic. The train here was not delayed and I didn't have to change trains, so the journey time was very short. All in all, a good journey!
Advantages
Beautiful viewA very interesting and pleasant journey. The train is very quiet and the passengers were also quiet, which made it very relaxing. As I was sitting by the window, I had a great view, which I wouldn't have had if I had travelled by car. I highly recommend it!
Advantages
PunctualityCleanlinessDisadvantages
NoneI have to say, I am impressed by how well it can work. My train was ready for departure and arrived at my destination on time, the train was very clean, the seats were comfortable and the staff were friendly. It couldn't have been better. A clear recommendation from me!
