A month ago I travelled on a ICE train to Berlin & promised a 🧵 comparing to the Spanish AVE train

Bullet train fight!

Buying tickets
ICE tickets were easier to buy online & were possibly cheaper. The Spanish train ticket website is a UX/UI nightmare

Travel to station
AVE tickets include free travel on local train lines to/from the AVE station. ICE has it, but not automatically for all tickets

Boarding
ICE - The platform is displayed well in advance, there're no luggage scans or ticket barriers. It's much faster, easier & accessible than AVE travel

Luggage
ICE trains have an adequate storage racks, AVE travel includes a luggage fight every time
