Fair, although while my ride in Italy was faster, I vastly preferred the overall vibe of the UK's system.
It's honestly hard to explain because it's so much different compared to your guys'.
So we have exactly one route that can go up to 125, in a couple of places. So taking that one out of the equation, the next highest speed in our entire system is 90mph.
I live in Seattle, about 4 million people, about 1.8x of Manchester. We have 3 rail lines, that take you to 3 places.
We have what you would call a "well connected" city in the states too. Outside of the northeast corridor, this is in fact a "train city" here in the states.
