Well they didn't have to carry on building them like that - new lines could
have been built to a much more generous loading gauge.

With 20-20 hindsight

They had the right idea in india where the broad gauge lines have a huge
loading gauge and those were built in the 19th century by more or less the
same people who built the railways in britain.

Hardly, construction began in India in 1853. By which time there were an
awful lot of lines already constructed in Britain.
