Northern Ireland's railways are managed by a different government agency to Great Britain's, so the statistics are not included.

I'd say Great Britain, but I guess you can out-pedant me with that, since Angelsey, the Isle of Wight etc have railways.

Great Britain is correct, no? If one were referring to the island one would just say Britain.

Great Britain is the name of the island, as distinct from the other Britain (Brittany, France) which is slightly smaller in area.

No-one ever refers to Brittany as Britain, but the anachronism remains.

On that matter, I realized recently that both Brittany and Great Britain have an area called Cornwall or Cornouaille in French which makes the matter more confusing.
