Isn’t the choice between removing england or getting the soda? You can have your England and drink it too.
Is it really hurting the low speed networks? I would imagine there are many stations that high speed rail doesn’t go to. Let goods travel long distance low speed, let people go fast.
Hmm. I see the argument, but it seems to be more like an issue with pricing than a flaw with HSR. Once high speed track is in service it should be able to run plenty of trains all around the clock, I can see how it could make low speed rail seem redundant.
I’d think it would make more sense to keep the low speed tracks and use them for freight, and also make high speed rail cheaper to ride.
