They keep having to upgrade it because it was planned on the basis of "experts" ensuring the planners that the pointless short routes that don't serve "big" destinations will never attract much traffic, only to find the trains provided to match the "expert" predictions of traffic demands are woefully inadequate for the actual number of passengers who turn up.

If the experts under-estimate, the thing doesn't get built and no-one
knows they were wrong. If they over-estimate, as they might have on the
north half of the Robin Hood Line, the thing gets built and no-one uses
it, and they get in trouble.
