This is quite true in India; a lot of the infrastructure laid down by the British is still in use

How much of the continued re-use is due to it being so superior, or the government being so cash poor that they can't pay for any replacements?

They can pay for nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers and a space programme; India is not a poor country.

There are loads of countries that squander money on military and things like that, while people starve, or the infastructure falls apart.
