Interesting point of view! This vision fully opposes to the typical German/French/EU railway strategy, which allways focusses on big>BIGGER>SUPERCENTRALISED railway development philosophy.

It’s fully clear that the old-fashioned railway development philosophy is doomed to die. Burocracy, technocracy and project costs are exploding uncontrolable, and manageability, ROI and customer focus are melting like the north pole ice.

EU: review your railway policy. Focus on real customer improvements.
