Network Rail has asserted that it "cannot afford" to upgrade substandard track. So that means that not only will there be no hurry to reopen the Heart of Wales line after the Llangennech derailment (when will see the report on that, by the way?) but there will also be more Stonehavens.
Surely any sensible economic model for the railways would penalise the provider of the track and infrastructure for every day of unavailability and reward that provider for maximising the use of a permanent way which can be relied upon?
