I think Japan is ideal for comparison with the UK in terms of possibility of effective public transport, ie trains - only there are no earthquakes here so everything should be much much cheaper to build.
Japan has population of 127 mln, territory - 377,835 sq km, GDP per capita: $33,800
UK: population: 61 mln, territory - 244,820 , GDP per capita: $35,300
So, in terms of population density countries are very very close actually, even the way islands look like are close - it is ideal for a couple of high speed trainlines, frankly if they can do it in France and German then something must be really wrong if its not done in the UK.
