CyclingUK - New journey planner

[mjr]

With reference to the Cycling UK journey planner, could I respectfully suggest that Cycling UK cease to use the underlying CycleStreets system?

You can, but you probably should suggest it to them directly by email or a form on the main website, rather than the forum. Let us know how it goes.

Cyclestreets offers three alternative routes chris. Have you tred them all?

I now mostly use cycletravel for cross country, but tend to use cyclestreets in towns/heavily built-up areas, where cycletravel can produce its own routing oddities.

On balance, to clarify, cycletravel is my general favourite, it's great.

Not too good (being polite here) on circular routes. Flag in the middle of a white screen isn't exactly a route. Even when I zoom in to get a map, it's still just a flag and no route - think I will stick with the one I use 'cycle.travel' which is much more intelligent allowing me to specify how long a route I would like, and it then provides options, which I can tailor on the fly

Hasn't heard of Paris either (except some small village in Yorkshire) - definitely staying with the one I use

I hadn't heard of Cycle Travel. I've just asked for a sample route from Stourbridge to Buxton and it seems to think South Staffordshire (north of Wolverhampton) is Birmingham. In fact Birmingham is 10 miles east of the start. Very odd.
