Train Captures Too Fast

I love the winter express event, it's very fun and the pace of it is exciting. The only problem is the train captures way too fast, there is no opportunity for any sort of strategy cause you have to just drop everything and run to the train if its capping. If you're any more than 10 meters from the train you simply aren't going to make it. It makes it feel too much like a free for all, with more luck than skill.
