I would be happy with more reliable slower rail rather than high speed rail. If you know it's going to take 3 hours and you can get a seat, you can plan for that - it's when it might be anywhere between 1.5 and 5 hours, assuming your train isn't cancelled, and you might have to stand the whole way, that it becomes unpleasant.
