'Costs of maintaining two separate fleets would be higher than costs of electrification.'Really? If everything except the very infrequent services was electrified, you'd only need a small number of diesel trains. Admittedly you'd need maintenance plant, and people, capable of servicing them. But the capital cost of elctrifying quite long stretches of rural railway is pretty considerable. |
