The article doesn't really seem to address why, if there is demand for what the author wants (which is quite reasonable), the market (or even a monopolist train company) doesn't provide it.

The article does address the difficulty of competition (either between companies or within a nationalised rail provider) because tracks are one-dimensional, so maybe the rail provider has to choose between low speed and high speed.
