"Nostalgia doesn't pay the bills unfortunately.
At the end of the day, if it's loss-making they have to shut it down.
If it were profitable, they would continue it."
JR Tokai makes loads off the Tokaido Shinkansen, and btw they're a privstised monopoly, so have an obligation to provide a public service. They've forgotten about the people who use the train.

So you'd have left them to suffer in the hands of the Soviet barbarians would you? Given a choice I'd prefer my demise to be quick.
