Most transfer friction is actually a luggage problem disguised as a routing problem.

Core rule

Travel with one bag you can move quickly, plus one personal item you can keep secured at all times.

Luggage optimization checklist

Put essentials in your personal item
Label your checked bag clearly
Keep medication and documents with you
Repack if your bag exceeds easy lifting range

Train vs coach handling

Scenario	Better mode
Heavy but compact suitcase	Coach can be easier
Two medium rolling bags	Private transfer often easiest
One cabin bag only	Train is very efficient

Platform and bay etiquette

Let exiting passengers clear first.
Keep aisles open.
Do not block doors while sorting bags.

Micro-rule: If you need 2 minutes to repack, step aside first.

A calm 60-second repack is faster than a rushed 10-minute bottleneck.

Bottom line

Your best transfer choice can change once luggage volume changes. Re-evaluate route after seeing your actual baggage.
