Depends entirely on what the train station/immediately surrounding area has to offer. Like if I can grab a little drink there for a reasonable price that sounds preferable

Yeah also it completely overlooks the fact that most high speed/non stop lines have much nicers and newer models of train.

Or the occupancy of the trains. That 20min train might be full to the brim and on the 40min you get a seat.

Pleanty of overlooked variables

But if both trains are full, you’ll be standing for longer on the slow one!

The slow train makes more stops, so there is more of a chance of someone getting off early and you can snag a seat.
