If it only a matter of running a few trains, then it could be viable. But to run even one train you need all that goes with running a railway - signalling, level crossings, stations (probably the most costly), security etc and given that the 26th is a Holiday, staff would be paid extra perhaps as much as double. So costs can be significant.

A bus can be operated by one person but a railway needs many many more.
