There have been plans to build an MSA at M42 J4 for ages. I'm not really sure why, it's not that far from other service areas -- but the news item is probably related to the fact that the Public Inquiry into the new plans starts this week.

Don't see how it would have any effect on the VSL though.

Think that congestion would be increased to the point that the VSL would not be needed ,but that was impression rather than what I heard - hoped someone might have heard the rest -seemed to be interesting development

At Rownhams MSA on the M27 they are planning 4 narrow lanes and VSL.
Mind you it is a stupid scheme.

“It has never been the rule in this country – I hope it never will be - that suspected criminal offences must automatically be the subject of prosecution” He added that there should be a prosecution: “wherever it appears that the offence or the circumstances of its commission is or are of such a character that a prosecution in respect thereof is required in the public interest”
This approach has been endorsed by Attorney General ever since 1951. CPS Code

Where can we object?
I have never been on that road and thought "oh, what we need here is a random speed limit".
