Cutting the gold route at the Dublin or Manchester hole will make Leeds more or less a dead system, and will just cause traffic to be rerouted, mostly though the gate, some through the London hole. It will make gold a bit longer to run, but frankly, most the gold pirates are in California, on that last lane, nice and close to Detroit so any transport not paying feeds a junker transport or two.
Moving Chester makes sense. I'd say move it to the faaaar south of Dublin, clear of all the gold fields. I'm surprised that Newcastle doesn't get more traffic from smugglers crossing the Kusari/Bret lines, but I suppose the lack of frontline (player) troops is what's causing that. Might want to switch the patrols near that frontline to the Guard factions, so most players will get targeted, either by Brets or Kusari.
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.
