Not necessarily. As experienced train travellers ourselves, the Rail Europe team often chooses to go for the slower trains for a number of reasons, including the fact that these trains often:

Allow for more time to take in the city scapes and countrysides
Set a more leisurely pace to better soak up the travel experience
Stop in areas that are less-travelled, offering a more unique journey
Are less-crowded than their high-speed counterparts
Are an even greener travel option than high speed
Are the cheapest train tickets you can find

Whether you choose to go with a low-, medium- or high-speed train, Rail Europe compiles all train options so you can choose by cost, speed, timing and operator to find the best fit for your travels.
