I think it's fair to say that St. Pancras is uniquely fantastic, and Bruxelles Midi is unusually terrible. I suspect stations in the UK and Belgium are much the same once you average them all out. That being said, I do think that the Tube has generally very good signage and ticketing. Its main issues are being unpleasantly loud and hot.

You are right. In London as a foreigner I’ve always found the Tube easy to use. Even when there is an interruption there is always someone to help and give guidance. The Oyster card is convenient and cheap for one day tourists. In train I’ve only ridden on the GWR Paddington-Bristol route. I found it very comfortable although it was still diesel powered. I’ve heard the line now has been electrified up to Swindon I think. I’m a railway worker so I can ride first class for free. It’s great because with GWR you get free drinks and snacks and the seats are really comfy. But if you have to pay it’s really expensive in the UK.
