You're so right there Ian.
There are some great scenic routes - in England the Settle-Carlisle Line is outstanding. Up in here in Scotland the famous West Highland Line which is listed at the top of world train journeys. In Ulster the Belfast-Londonderry is a nice run. Don't know much about Wales I am afraid! The US is a big place and unfortunately Amtrak although with longer distances doesn't fare so well I think as a national rail service as we would regard such here.
With train travel at it's highest since the post-war years I think most visitors to GB will be reasonably happy with the rail service.
