To clarify:- The issue is that if half the fleet is laid up long-term, there's no room to store road trains. - If I understand it correctly, road trains that need to go to the yard for storage are usually trains that are needed for peak service times, but are not needed for other times - like midday or night. - However, if service is being cut so severely, it would seem that the most significant cuts would have to be to peak period service for it to make a difference in costs. - As such, the difference in the number of trains in service during peak and non-peak times would be much smaller - meaning that there'd be fewer road trains going into the yard for storage at the end of the peak period. - The result of this would be less space needed for road trains storage, since fewer road trains would be stored. I'm not sure if this is accurate or not - which is why I'd appreciate the view of one with relevant experience - which you obviously have (and I obviously don't). |
