The railways in Wales, Scotland and England are all run as one pretty much. Northern Ireland is a little different as (I think) they may have a different gauge - certainly the railways in the Republic of Ireland (south of the border) are broad gauge. There's no bridge or tunnel across the Irish Sea so any interchange involves either sea or air travel. The only problems arise from some of the old GWR lines (and preserved stock). The GWR was originally laid by Brunel as a broad gauge system, when they regauged the lines they took advantage of the extra "elbow room" to build stock to slightly wider dimensions causing chaos when they run on other lines. I know there's one type of DMU that was built recently to similar width (Class 165), there may be other types.
