at peak periods i am sure the c-train stops for more than one minute at each stop. also, i am assuming that if this idea were to fly, we are not talking about a train out to banff every 10 minutes like a c-train - this would need to be a scheduled service.
i am trying to imagine the chaos of folks to to wrangle a bike and a duffle bag off the train while others are trying to board all within 120 seconds.

The 99% majority of those tourists would be getting on and off at the terminus points of Banff and Calgary. The other stops would have fewer people getting on and off each time, which are the stops that would impact travel time.
The train sitting in Banff for 30 mins after it arrives until it leaves again doesn't affect the route time.
