I suspected you didn't realise how small a scale we were talking about.
Glad you finally looked at the map, I did tell you to; 3 times! :-)

You can fit England into Texas ten times. And England has twice Texas's population. As you've seen from the map, everything is so close. And a lot of people don't have cars. A quick web search will show you how extensive the transport network is. Manchester to Leeds for instance is easily commutable.
