Maybe we could learn a lesson from something like the British Rail Class 800. It can run on both electrified and non-electrified track, thanks to on-board Diesel. It can also switch between the two modes at speed. These trains are replacing the InterCity 125's which are even older than our LRC fleets. But they have the same issues there - how do you implement HSR (or semi-HSR) on existing right-of-ways which may not have optimal track geometry? Hopefully, Colinette goes for a ride.
