They have 125 mph (running speed) trains though. And they are not moving on HS2 to connect Birmingham and Manchester. And that corridor doesn't come closer to holding half of the UK's population like the QWC in Canada.

They also don't have half their population in either corridor, our gas prices, our air fares or our weather (for a lot of it).
