The train arrived on time, which I find very good, as it meant I arrived in the city on time. The price was absolutely acceptable and not too expensive. The toilet was very clean and couldn't be faulted. The seats were also very comfortable and therefore very suitable for a longer train journey. The wifi was constant and stable, sockets were also available.

As I travelled by train from Frankfurt to Augsburg to watch a Eintracht match, I still had the long way back from Augsburg to Frankfurt ahead of me. I'm still a very big fan of taking the train, because you save a lot of fuel costs by car. Food and comfort were also very good. I was a bit bothered by the delays of the train. The staff were not in a good mood and the wifi was again not the best.

Evaluation for the journey from Augsburg, Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt am Main Hauptbahnhof I travelled by ICE and all in all it was a pleasant journey. Good comfort, great service. Only the volume was a bit too high, but with headphones that wasn't a problem either. My train went directly from Augsburg to Frankfurt without changing trains. The price-performance ratio was ok for having a modern in equipment train. With internet and power sockets, it was really okay. The toilets were also kept clean and it was generally quite hygienic on the train.
