Quick TGV Question

I am just about able to book one of my TGV trip segments for June 2017. I am using the SNCF website. My two morning choices for Monday, June 12th from Marne-la-Vallee to Strasbourg are:

Leave 10:31, arrive 13:00, 2 hours 29 minutes

Leave 11:31, arrive 13:21, 1 hour 50 minutes

Both choices indicate TGV Direct. Why is the length of the first trip almost 40 minutes longer than the second? Thank you!

It looks like the 10:31 has a stop at the airport, while the 11:31 does not. That seems to be the only difference.

Thanks for the response, Dawn! I didn't see the trip detail with the stop. I appreciate your help!

I always look at www.bahn.de when I'm doing research. I find it really easy to use and it has all of the schedules. It also shows all of the intermediate stops as well as a map!

Also check to see if you have to change trains, platforms...
40 minutes is enough time to make a change, but if you have anything shorter, you might not make it - especially if there is a delay.
