In 2007, a 21-mile rail bridge was proposed between Galloway, Scotland, to Belfast, Northern Ireland. The idea would have trains running from Dublin, through Belfast, over the sea to Scotland, and then down railways into London...

Must have been planned by the same people who designed the California bullet train. Pay more and take 10 times as long as flying, plus trillions of government money to build and run it. Liberals and their obsession with passenger trains.

:’) Ordinarily the movement of freight over rail would be a good argument, but the entire thing is one big maritime economy, so it moves by water. A bridge for automotive traffic would be greatly preferred, as Britain also has a very large number of small towns, despite the generally higher population density than one finds here in the US.
