"I don't see there being enough traffic north of Lancaster to justify a by-pass of these four towns, especially with Scotland increasingly turning inward"Unless they put up a customs checkpoint at the border, they haven't turned that far inward. You don't need a customs checkpoint for people's focus to be increasingly far more on Edinburgh and Glasgow. And it's only natural that Scotland is detached from the rest of Europe anyway -- have a look at this map -- Europe's main urban area stretches from northern England through the Low Countries to western Germany. |
