Also worth noting that with increased complexity comes exponentially increased costs. Or, rather, putting in a new tube Line would cost absolutely billions to dance around all the existing gubbins that sits under London, not to mention the much higher private land costs (even with compulsory purchasing), etc. Building a similar system in Leeds would cost a lot less (and similarly, providing public transport in Scotland is very costly for geographic reasons). So it may be the case that London gets X times more funding than somewhere else, but that doesn't necessarily mean it gets X times more "infrastructure" out of it.
