Market, however, now urgently requests upgradings – duly… confirmed by frustrations, Brexit, etc…!
Current railway standard no longer is timely – in any respect! (Axial load, shall be safely sustainable, resilent etc… and electrification as well, etc., etc.!)
Capacity and utilisation of assets, of existing infrastructure…, etc. no longer shall be obstructed, neither should mere goal of EU membership!
(Nearness to and within Market now has to be constructed for – and pays!)
