    Trains are vital, high speed trains aren’t. They’ve pumped out a lot of high speed train lines that simply are too expensive to maintain, and of course not to mention the potential faults in build quality.

    To reduce the amount of planes high speed trains can be a good replacement. But building too many of them isn’t going to do the train network any good on the long run if it’s not being fully utilised.

      You build things to take estimated future capacity, not things that are fully utilised the day you finish.
