Yeah, HSR makes no sense if it isn't frequent enough. An HSR trip that takes 2 hours but only runs every 3 won't cut it. High Frequency should come first - then ramp up the speeds. Although there's no real incremental "ramp up" - if you're doing dedicated track, you may as well buy HSR sets... But you may only start with buying enough to handle a lower frequency. So maybe they have to push for speed first (which dictates the line/hardware), then add quantity/frequency (more sets).
