What would be the point of starting in the north? You could travel from one "poor" spot to another quickly.
One of the ideas is to move people out of London and the South East. Once there is an easy, fast commute from Brum maybe some companies/departments would move there, then you expand out further.
But like lots of large infrastructure projects the UK is quite small, you can't do the thing without badly disrupting people "in the way". This can be less of an issue in larger countries where it's
1)Easier to build around people
2)Anything to improve connectivity is welcome for the large distances covered.
