Engineers from Roman times onwards have found it to be an ideal route for connecting the Midlands with South East England. In a width of the A5 road, the West Coast Main Line railway, the M1 motorway and a branch of the Grand Union Canal all traverse the gap in parallel. ==Focal point== An easy route between the London and Birmingham areas passes near the small village centre of Watford, Northamptonshire. The gap is north-east of Daventry and west of Long Buckby. In the era of Roman Britain, the Watling Street Roman road utilised the gap. The road here forms the A5, but for national journeys has been superseded by the M1 motorway which also passes through this gap. Later the road was joined by the Leicester Line of the Grand Union Canal, which passes through the Watford Locks just to the north of the gap. The historical geographic importance of the area led to many modern communication routes passing through this narrow gap: the coming of the railways brought the London and Birmingham Railway, now known as the West Coast Main Line; the most recent addition, in 1959, was the M1, Britain's first inter-urban motorway, bringing with it Watford Gap services, the first motorway service station. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Watford Gap」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
