Variable gauge systems exist that would allow passenger services to run easily from Belfast to Glasgow or anywhere else in the British network. Such systems are in widespread use on the continent for passenger services. Trains don’t even need to stop. Heavy freight is more challenging but the engineering isn’t insurmountable.

Although this will never happen.
