Well... the worst European train I haven't been on has to be the notorious high speed V250...
I've been on a V250 a couple of times, not the best experience. There was heavy sideways swinging at high speeds (especially in the Groeneharttunnel), there were lots of vibrations, the aircon ducts made heavy thuds as they closed for a tunnel entrance, the seats were hard and uncomfortable, and there were lots of inconsistencies between units.
I can honestly say I don't miss them.
To stay in Germany, the relatively new LINT DMUs are terrible. A tight squeeze, Insuffizient ventilation. The cigne based Vareo are a good example of this. The two hour run to Trier is very uncomfotable
I've done that run a few years ago, I have to admit I quite liked those units. The seats aren't the ones you want for a 2,5 hr journey, though.
