The route is weird, but not that weird. Looks like they've conflated two routes by accident and then misordered the stops so we end up with the bizarre lines that don't follow roads. And even ignoring that, they've got the Maesglas loop wrong. It's very messed up. The dead ends, though, are correct (that's where the cargo helicopters come into play). Totally OT I know, but how would you go about suggesting to these companies > that they use OSM maps rather than Google? > With traveline I'd think it's a matter of getting the English branch to suggest it to the Welsh branch. But unless the English branch make their suggestion in Welsh it may not get anywhere. The actual reason for ignoring the suggestion will be NIH syndrome, but it's easier to play silly beggars when you can blame it on language issues. -- Paul
