A very costly procedure to do some very costly repairs. They'll also have to do some very costly track, electrical line and pantograph inspection. Then do a very costly repair on the train. And then a very costly investigation at all levels: GRT, RoW, Keolis, WRPS and so on. Eventually, the added up cost of all these collisions over the years will have cost the same as tunnels or elevated sections.
I mean, everyone else here agrees that if it was a choice between tunnels or nothing, we would have gotten the nothing. Of course tunnels are technically possible, but the political will wasn't there.
Also, spending money later is less expensive than spending money earlier. So the costs over the years may still be less.
