Advantages
IconFast ticket inspection
IconComfortable seats with sufficient equipment
IconOn time and without changing trains
Iconhygienic toilets
Disadvantages
Icondirty corridor
The journey from Würzburg to Ulm had been very relaxing, as the train was not full and the atmosphere was very quiet. The seats had also been very comfortable and there had been plenty of power sockets nearby, as well as a stable internet connection. The toilets looked very hygienic, but the corridors in the train were very dirty, which could have been due to the wet weather. Otherwise, the staff here were very friendly and carried out a quick ticket check. The train was also very punctual and there was no need to change trains. All in all, a very nice journey!
