Regardless if maintenance is “optimal”, an old standard that now calls for frequent and costly maintenance activities along track, is not optimal!
All other modes, by air, etc., upgrade for added load – and for lower costs!
At current standard single option for added load at railways is longer trains. This is not optimal!
A shift is needed to a safely calculable track standard, a timely, that safely is designed for todays speed and traffic and with redundancy, thus with margins, sustainably allowing future upgrading, for added load, etc.
