Yes, that's the main thing. The current right of way (including curves and level crossings) with off-the-shelf euro regional MUs, could do it in one hour, assuming the track is repaired to Class 5 and stations to short-dwell level boarding.
Alas, I have very little confidence that the current government will actually upgrade the track and buy new running stock.
Of course, I would be very pleased to be proven wrong.
