The re-routes for all five editions of the two guidebooks have now been comprehensively updated. View the re-routes for each edition on our re-routes page.

An RSS feed is also available for each edition – you can receive notification of when a re-route is added. You will need a RSS Reader, which is a little like an email inbox. Then you need to subscribe to a RSS Feed, which can be done by selecting the RSS logo and click on it.
