the UK cannot be included, because they aren't a Schengen-member and the EU doesn't want customs checks on their train lines...
it's entirely up to the UK what they do with their rails within their borders.
and as was already pointed out:
there already IS a connection between the EU and the UK!!
the new plans are largely for connections between capitals of EU countries and major population centers, both of which already have rail connections in the UK.
so what do you expect the EU to do about the rail network in the UK?
Yes the rails are connected, but you should not be arguing to me that this means the UK is part of the plan when it very clearly isn't. You're arguing on both sides right now, I don't think you're in the right state of mind.
