The documentation for superroute, such as it is, says that one reason is to map things like the E-network and the other reason is to avoid a route with more than 300 elements. Obviously, if you had a route with 301 elements you would be entitled to divide it and end up with two subroutes of around 150 elements. Or a subroute with 295 elements and a subroute with 6elements if that led to a more "natural" division. But that 300 isn't a hard number, as I understand it, and it would be OK to split for 290, or 280. I'd just like to use it on a route with even fewer elements and I don't see anything in the documentation to say I can't. If routers can handle a superroute for the E-network they can handle it for smaller routes. > if not, currently valid route 'll become unusable in all app. > so sure that's the best/most need thing todo with PT version :( > Again, if superroutes don't work with some apps the E-network has problems and we either have to abolish superroutes completely or fix broken apps or live with the fact that some apps are broken. Since the route I'm talking about doesn't connect two transport nexuses, broken routeing isn't as big an issue for me as for the E-network. Much more important is that any tourist or visitor (or even locals who rarely use the bus and haven't used this one since it came into service a few months ago) wanting to use the bus can figure out where it goes. That isn't easy. Not even if you have the timetable https://www.richardsbros.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/408-sept-2018.pdf and know the local geography well. At the risk of people getting deja vu all over again (thanks, Yogi Berra) I invite you to try to figure out this bus route: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/8592409#map=14/52.0860/-4.6644 You'd have to either open it in an editor (if you're a registered user) or work your way down the ways listed in the relation, opening each in a new tab or window (or you could just click on it and then use the browser's back button but that's slower). -- Paul
