However railways has got a bigger potential, for improving! (Capacity and utilisation now is at a, too “low and comfortable” level!) Infrastructure, by some reason remai, at same standard as before WWII.
Like other modes, load capacity has to be added. Safety against sudden broken wheels and axial has to be added. (Bottleneck of industry is the shortcomings, visavi trend among clients, the request for On Time supplies.) Urgently operators have to call for a timely, an upgraded infrastructure!
