Depending on your destination, they are not really “none-stop” trains, these have fewer stops than T trains.

Trains generally only stop at large cities and province capitals, more crowded and less modern than high speed and direct trains.

If you have other choices, do not take the temporary train, as it is very slow, and easily delay.
