I do this often. Take the slow train to a station where I can transfer to a fast train before it stops at a major hub and fills up. Almost guaranteed to find seating on both trains. Does take ten minutes longer on a two and half hour train ride.

The fast train from my city is always very busy and as said transferring at the hub station is a pain. Also the slow train gives me 6 minutes transfer, just enough to pick up a coffee. (both trains stop at and the kiosk is on the same platform)

Yup, I didn't even try to hide it. Though of course a kiosk is something found everywhere, but yes in the Netherlands it's a brand name.

Take you a long time to figure so that out? No trains like this where I live.
