Kiel train to Berlin

[Member]

I try to purchase my Sept.4, 11:21 one-way ticket online for 123,00 euro 1st class or 29,00 discounted 2nd class at http://www.bahn.de. For a 3 hrs.+ ride, I think I'll take the lower fare one. Any spacious luggage storage for the 2nd class?

 

At http://www.vbbonline.de/start.php?id_language=2, the same ride shows "8 min. walking time" at the end. What does it mean?

 

Thanks for the insight on this in advance.

1st train Kiel - Hamburg is a regional express train:

rack above of seats

or

special compartments for bikes and wheelchairs

 

2nd train Hamburg - Berlin in ICE:

rack above of seats

or

space between back to back seats

You have to walk 8 minutes from the stop to the destination or whatever.

I find the Intercity train is usually more pricey than the Regional train. Is it a better ride (newer train, faster, less stops, bigger seat and/or better equipped)?

29 EUR is a flat rate independent you are booking ICE or IC as long as there is a part long-distance trains.

 

Your train is ICE 3 newest generation while IC trains are outdated. On which section do you want to use IC??? If you book 29.00 EUR it's fixed to one connection.

I think they use ICE on the Hamburg/Berlin section and regional one from Kiel to Hamburg on all schedules. My concern is where to place our two full-size luggages and two hand luggages in the 2nd class trains. Well, hope our seat area is not fully packed with messengers then.
