Even worse, as neither redundant, nor resilent – and not robust…, currently railways may not claim the sustainable alternative!
At current traffic and speeds, regrettably the allowed 22,5 ton load, etc., no longer is allowed – by system…
Accordingly, “maintenance”, new speech for repairing…, now has turned too costly, thus the track charge has to remain high, etc., etc.
(All other modes by air, sea, etc., upgrade for added load capacity – and reduced costs. So the railways, now has to!)
