I have not had any negative experiencesThe train journey from Göttingen to Berlin was satisfactory overall. The punctuality of the train was very good, it arrived as planned. The toilets on the train were clean and well equipped, lacking nothing. The comfort of the seats was very good, but sufficient for the duration of the journey. The train staff were very attentive and were able to answer all my questions. In terms of facilities, I was pleasantly surprised to have wifi on the train for the first time, this provides the opportunity to relax. Power outlets were also available, making it easy to charge electronic devices. The seats were comfortable but nothing special. Overall, a pleasant travel experience that I would like to repeat.
Advantages
Courteous staffGood price/performance ratioWell cleaned trainDisadvantages
No negative propertiesI wanted to travel from Augsburg to Berlin and as this was not possible directly due to a road works, I had to travel via Göttingen. In Göttingen, I had 8 minutes to change trains myself, which was perfectly sufficient for me. I reached my train from Göttingen to Berlin on time and it also left Göttingen on time. The train was quite full, but luckily I had booked a seat before departure. Otherwise, the train was very well cleaned and I felt very comfortable on the train itself.
Advantages
Courteous train staffWorking socket and wifiCourteous staffDisadvantages
Nothing to noteI can only give my journey from Göttingen to Berlin an absolutely positive rating. We arrived on time and the train was also pleasantly air-conditioned. I think the seating is absolutely great - there is enough space for your personal belongings and you can also put your drink or laptop on the table. The train was very well cleaned and the rubbish bins at the seats were also emptied. All in all, a very good train journey - I would take it again at any time.
