1) Delays of more than 2 hours occur all the time for one reason or other. The UK doesn't collapse as a result.
2) Prepare for what? There is no solution as the issues that Turkey still has demonstrates. Turkey has had more than 20 years, and the EU still holds things up.
3) There are still delays with a customs union. It's mere speculation that Scotland would be in a customs union with the EU. Even so, their main problem is the border with England. A EU-Scottish customs union wouldn't address that.
