You can build more high level platforms.

Of course! The solution must be more government spending, right? We'll just throw good money after bad to allow these Acelas to be cascaded into lesser services.

They are not all that expensive when compared to building modern low level platforms.

And your experience in the field which leads you to say this what exactly again?
