Advantages
Train was on time despite being fullComfortable seats and well sufficient equipmentfast ticket controlDisadvantages
People blocked the corridors with suitcasesToilet was unhygienicThere were a lot of people travelling from Frankfurt to Fulda with suitcases blocking the aisle. The occupancy rate on the train was normal and the cleanliness in the passenger compartment was OK. However, the toilets were very unhygienic. The toilet seat in particular could have been cleaned before the start of the journey. The seats, on the other hand, were very comfortable and fully equipped. The staff were friendly and carried out ticket checks quickly. Despite being full, the train was on time and it was a pleasant journey.
Advantages
SimplicityDisadvantages
Many delaysThere was wifi on the train and sockets at every seat, which worked perfectly. The seats are very comfortable and you have a lot of space, you can even recline them. When it is crowded on the train, it is also a bit noisy, but many also stick to the quiet area. The service is very friendly and helpful. It is also very clean everywhere. Unfortunately, the trains are often unpunctual. But still, the price-performance ratio is good.
Advantages
