Great Britain isn't England. England is about 60% of Great Britain, which includes Scotland and Wales.

As you can see on your Belgium "zoom," the entire country can fit centered on south and western England and be comparably dense. The Midlands are also moderately dense, while only northern England, Scotland, and Wales are truly sparse. Notably for Scotland, since I looked it up quickly, the population density is 1/15 that of Belgium on average. But it's all concentrated in the areas that are connected.

Just want to clarify why I used the term Great Britain - because the visual in the link doesn't include Northern Ireland.

I agree that Belgium's size makes it easier to have higher public transport density though!
