It's pretty similar where I live when it comes to talking to strangers on the bus or tube, but then I live in London where we're quite standoffish and distant towards strangers at best and we definitely have the 'Don't make eye contact' rule on public transport too. But when I lived in Lancashire for a few years the social difference was noticeable(not huge though), I mean it wasn't like strangers would just randomly stop and chat away to each other but generally people were friendlier and more willing to approach you if they had a question than most people ever are in London.

I also personally tend to find that the willingness for a stranger to talk to you depends on the time of day, during rush hour? Forget it you'll be lucky to get an answer. But during off peak traveling I find people to be more willing to stop and talk if you need help.
