Sooner the better, a redundant el. supply shall be provided the railways!
(Any vital of society, dependant of el., has to be ensured redundancy!)
Claiming part of a high capacity inter modal system, railways now urgently has to shift, to hybrid, el. etc.
(Weak Link, now is due for Upgrading, for Shift!)
Now, all modes proving resilient…, upgrade – for lower costs, etc.
High quality management, is bonus…, provided, when safe “eta” is ensured, etc. (Compare Toyota Case!…)
