if the info isn't out there you can absolutely request that information
Running costs are like the last thing to consider for these things, I imagine.
Building infrastructure is stupidly expensive
<:kizunaStare:385945680688054283>
How much are parts, engineers, maintaince, random regulations
Also optimal layout. Who owns that land you wanna change? And what if they don't sell

Fair. So an electric freight train?
If we assume 60ish ton 120 person csrt there
Its about 2100e per 100km with large extra margins ofc
(Locomotive and cart combined)
That cost includes electricity and rail usage etc
And tax :D
Direct fra link 404 sadly
Damn, google Cost benefit analysis if next generation electric frieght train
Fra
Pretty recent ish, released 2015
Theres a lot more case studies on the death of it post 70s more than anything
Yeah im just doing some light groundwork here for local railways nice to compare it to something at least
>>> the basic infrastructure charge shall include minimum infrastructure access services, which shall be:
(a) processing of requests for railway infrastructure capacity;
(b) the right to use the allocated capacity;
(c) use of railway infrastructure, including network junctions and switches;
(d) train control, including signaling, traffic control, transmission and communication as well as train movement information;
(e) use of electricity transmission equipment to provide transport flow;
(f) all other information required for the operation of the service for which capacity has been granted.
Is your rail network privatized or a mix?
"State owned”
Quotes due its quite complex bullshittery
But its opening to "privates must get access too"
We have pretty much 3 different "state-owned"companies for railway upkeep
One for rails and their upkeep and cost
One for station upkeep and station notififcations*
And one for the trains itself and their upkeep and notifications*
*: you can imagine how poorly messages get conveyed due different companies on the notifications
But yeah now i know aproximate cost for 120 (or more if locomotive what can hold people is chosen) to travel 100km
Given my interest for this is 40ish km piece what has 100km/h rails but is already electrified
<:kizunaStare:385945680688054283>
But does not have passenger trains since 1997
Stations are still there and up to date is
Just adding up the costs and few others so i can make more educated arguments and get my own numbers on it
University city without passenger train access and shiittty bus connections = only thing keeping them up is harbor pretty much
And nobody from current gen wants to really stay there as there is no accees unless you own car
Bonus i get to mock city hall people from this again
Canadians have been a little more genuinly intrested in these progects looking it up. As a caveat most anglosphere places seem to devote a lot of time and effort to working around and with private corporations, I dont know what to make of it for your system.
