ROW maintenance is mainly a fixed costNo, because repairs are not fixed in terms of cost, especially spot repairs and/or emergency repairs. Raw materials are variable cost too. Running more trains makes the cost per train lower Not if the trains are empty. Also not in terms of wear and tear on both trains and infrastructure. Increased speed increases wear and tear. Since the NEC has a virtually unlimited supply of passengers No, they're on the "demand" end. They aren't a commodity to be shoved into trains. |
