If they owned their own lines, they could legit start offering reliable, high-speed service.
If we owned the lines, you mean? Then we set the priority, and the maintenance and budget and operating history is all open; and more is spent keeping it running and less on CEO bonuses.
In which universe is cross-country daytime shipping truly the priority anyway? Only to the shipper’s bottom line.
We have transportation and highways; why is this ministry not in charge of rail and wires?

That’s fair, yeah. To have a truly level playing field between buses and trains, the rail should be a public resource just like the roads.
