    A single train with a single crew can transport more people in a day when travelling at higher speed.

    This is running costs. The capital costs are irrelevant.

    It’s cheaper to run a high speed service than a low speed one. You can transport more people with the same number of staff and trains because it runs faster. The solution isn’t to run an artificially cheaper low speed service along side, it’s to run the high speed service in a sane way.
