useless route finder!

further to my (ignored) complaint that your route finder is determined to send me 20 miles out of my way on my 12 mile trip to work, I have tried to get it to recognise that the best (or is it? - the **** thing won't let me find out!) way to birmingham uni from stafford is straight down the m6. it insists on sending me dowm the m5 even if I ask it to go via the a38m. I'm sure this site is great for some folk - london & home counties????, but for staffordshire, it's ****.

Re: useless route finder!

Hi
Firstly we aim to respond to queries as soon as possible so we are sorry if you feel you were ignored.
The routing engine we use works well for most people, but inevitably some people's routes differ from what the routing engine considers the most direct. To ensure that our members are able to save the route they want, we have put in the option of via points. We find this works well in most cases.
Please email us - mary@keepmoving.co.uk and we'll do our best to assist you.
Best wishes

A12 delays 7th September

The VMS signs have A12 delays 7th Septembered to display the message (or something similar)

A12 J17 - J29
Delays
Sunday 7th September

It doesn't say what might be causing the delay, obviously not a 20 mile / 24 hr roadwork marathon. Anyone any ideas? My best guess is an abnormal load but I can't find any info on it.

Ta.

Average speed

Is anybody else fed up with this '30' average speed limit on the A316 between Sunbury Cross and Apex corner. I know I am. I stick to the 30mph because firstly I know it is for the safety of the men working on the road, but secondly I do not want a fine and possible points on my license.
Is my speedometer not working correctly! as I find a lots of cars, vans and bikes pass me doing a fair speed. Are they not afraid or are the cameras not working? Does anybody know?
I was coming home last night 'Southbound' around 9pm, hardly any traffic on that stretch. Nobody working on the road. I could have done with knowing if I could have travelled faster than '30'.
I would appreciate a reply from anybody with any experience. Or even somebody that has been caught going over the limit.
Thanks
Jenn

Local Rate or not?

Can you clarify the pricing on calling the 0845 number? The website says "First call charged at local rate" which means what? First call ever, First call in a day. Also what is the rate after thar 'first' call?

Re: Local Rate or not?

Hi,
Thank you for your email. All calls to 0845 TRAFFIC are charged at a local rate and full instructions of the pricing is explained in full when you call the number.
Any further questions, please let us know.

Re: Alternative routes

I have set up alterntive routes whichhave the same start and end point by setting via points on your suggested route. However, these both now show the originally suggested route and the changes have not been saved.

petrol prices only directly on the route

It would be good if there was an option to set the site to only show petrol prices only directly on the route. At the moment it shows those that involve leaving the motorway. Ideally you could have a setting that allowed the user to select 'only on route' within 1/4 mile diversion, etc.

Re: petrol prices only directly on the route

Rob,
Thank you for your comment. Currently a search returns results within a one minuate drive of that route. The reason we've included fuel stations just off a motorway, is to give our members a choice of paying motorway service station prices or using a station which is just off a junction. It's an extra way of saving some money.
If you have any further queries, please email us - mary@keepmoving.co.uk.
Best wishes

Northern Ireland?

Does the site not work for Northern Ireland users? Or is it just broken for everyone at the minute? I can't add any journeys using Northern Ireland towns or postcodes.

Re: Northern Ireland?

Ahh, it's a good point. We flag ourselves as providing "UK Road Traffic Info" at the top of every page, and yet omit Northern Ireland. More correctly it should read "Island of Great Britain Road Traffic Info".

Re: Northern Ireland?

I've just registered on your site to discover the same thing - no Northern Ireland!! :(
Why is the site still advertised as giving "UK road traffic info" when it excludes a sizeable section of the UK?

LPG

How come there are no results for LPG (Autogas)? petrolprices.com has prices for this type of fuel, so it would be good to add LPG onto the search results as well, alongside the other fuels. Otherwise a very good site, keep up the hard work :)

More Results?

Would be good to see more results for a given route - 3 for each fuel type is very limited. Or specify which fuel and ONLY show those prices thus giving giving all 9 returns as the fuel of your choice.

Re: More Results?

IDS 777,
Thank you for your suggestion. As the results are for a journey you are already planning to take - we feel that a recommendation of 3 is about right. We have taken your feedback on board and will consider it for future development.

Cheap fuel

Sometimes I just want cheap fuel in a location, entering a post code would be most sensible, your google maps find it as well.
