coaches were repainted to the red livery used by regional trains. The interior remains largely unchanged from the regular InterCity, providing tables, folding tables, reading lamps and laptop sockets. The normal InterCity passenger information system is installed in the coaches, however seats cannot be reserved on the train. Coaches are pressurised to avoid uncomfortable pressure variations in tunnels. The train does not have a buffet car, but snacks and drinks are served from a trolley. The train is a non smoking train, just like any other German train. The train usually is a push-pull set operated with the refurbished coaches and a Class 101 engine. On occasion, a Class 120 or Class 182 engine is used as well. A full trainset normally consists of six coaches: Control car: driver's compartment, 31 2nd class seats, 16 bicycle racks and five folding seats, two wheelchair stands, disabled toilet four saloon coaches Bpmz (80 2nd class seats each), toilet and luggage rack at each end of the coach.

End coach: open seating area with 40 seats (2nd class), mother and child compartment with six seats (of which two folding), special compartment with six seats, two 1st class compartments (six seats each) and conductor's compartment.
