The task of a healthy publicly owned rail company is this:
To run as many trains as possible, within the financial constraints under which it operates
Note trains. It’s not “transport as many passengers as possible on the fewest number of trains”
That 5am train with a dozen building workers on it, or the last train home in the evening *matter for the trust and reliability of the system*, even if those individual trains make heavy losses and are largely empty
