Time for a rewrite
Rewriting a legacy system that's been patched and amended for 30 years... Good luck with that. It seems simple on paper but it's anything but.
Just make it from scratch?
For sure there is so much useless shit in there, that's why nobody gets their head around it anymore.
As long as it's not à la Musk where the new versions will be inferior to the previous one because "no modern trains should rely on antiquated technology so we're scrapping everything from before to start from scratch".
