I don't really consider added trains (if they still travel at that molasses pace, as you say) to be "service improvements" when we already have two-way, all-day service on the bus/train combination. You're definitely right that adding frequency of train service is only part of the equation, maybe not even the most important part.
I think single seat trips are an improvement (I hate standing in the cold in Bramalea), but I'd agree that buses vs. train shouldn't be as big a deal as some feel.
I'd agree frequency and service window are important, and replacing bus trips with train trips would barely qualify as an improvement in these metrics.
As for slowness of trip, absolutely, and ironically, the Bus-Bus trip late at night beats the train trip easily.
