Even so, it'd be better to lose a small fraction of trains than make them all late, since have 2x trains at 2x intervals operates at much lower efficiency (with the first train being over capacity, taking much longer for people to get off and on, and the second train half empty -- unloading feels almost quadratic in the size of the stack of people to push and pop). Of course, yes, that assumes you can ensure it's only a small fraction of trains being skipped and that each train is big enough and scheduled frequently enough to move the expected passengers. Those seem like different problems to solve though, once the trains aren't allowed to run late.
