Weak Link of inter modal chains now decisively has to be attended!
As short of resiliency (robustness) and already, now, short of capacity… regrettably, railways has turned the low quality device.
At track infrastructure, now resiliency has to be provided for
and at el supply redundancy!
(All other modes, those robust (resilient and redundant) handsomely are rewarded, by clients that have shifted strategy to “On Demand” and “JIT”!)
Quality pays and at transports now more than ever!
