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
