ICE

The ICE-Sprinter trains are extra fast ICE trains between Germany's major cities running in the morning and evening hours. They are tailored for business travellers or long-distance commuters as an alternative to domestic flights. Some of the Sprinter services continue as normal ICE services after reaching their destination. Sprinter trains usually depart around 06:00 for morning services and 18:00 for evening services.

In addition to the usual 1st class service (on-seat service, free newspapers) the 1st class in the Sprinter trains also offers free drinks, an on-seat breakfast or dinner and additional newspapers. In the 2nd class, newspapers are provided in the carriages at no extra cost.
