Its possible to have both "regular" and "express" services run along the line. All you need to do is 4 track a small section at each station. The inside tracks run straight ahead without stopping, the outside tracks allow trains to decelerate and stop at the station. They then accelerate back up to a decent speed, and merge with the express tracks.

Problem solved.
