A new cycle path near us in Ayrshire, Scotland has been given a new two digit (on a red background) NCN number, of 55.
This seems to be already allocated and doesn't seem to fit with the numbering system. Is this a cockup by the council or is the numbering system being changed?
Odd cycle route number
Re: Odd cycle route number
Strikes me as an administrative error. Is it just one sign on a route with a more appropriate number (e.g. 755)?
I've seen some 101 and (1) on NCN route 1.

Re: Odd cycle route number
I think 101 is a throwback from a very early Sustrans internal numbering scheme - it meant "leg 1 of route 1". I remember something similar in Burton-on-Trent (547 or somesuch for leg 7 of route 54).
But 55 in Ayrshire definitely seems like a cockup. Numbering seems a bit odd in Ayrshire anyway - routes 753 and 757 along the coast should surely both be the same. Maybe worth dropping Sustrans Scotland an email/tweet to make them aware.
