The Intercity 2 - The double-decker with double the comfort
The new double-decker Intercity 2 trains were added to the Intercity fleet in December 2015.
Since March 2020 passengers have been able to experience the Intercity 2 on the long-distance Dresden - Berlin - Rostock line, among others. This connects the Saxon Switzerland region, the lakes of the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte and the Baltic Sea coast with a good frequency of services.
Comfort on two floors
The Intercity 2 offers two floors of amenities. These include seats with generous legroom and unique views from the upper deck. Passengers can relax and have snacks and drinks served directly at their seat. Or they can travel with the whole family comfortably and undisturbed in a specially designated toddler or family area, with plenty of space for the little ones.
100% green-powered travel
On top of all this, the Intercity 2 is a real energy saver. It consumes a fifth less power than its predecessor! Our second-generation Intercity is flying the flag for green mobility throughout Germany. And of course, like all long-distance trains in Germany, it runs on 100% green electricity.
