    BBC closing travel website

    The BBC have decided to close their travel website. I use this every day to check the traffic between work and home, and plan my journey based on that. It's really useful because it's map-based. They're going instead to a text-based service based on local news sites by the looks of it.

    Lot of people unhappy about it judging by the comments.

    I never knew this site existed but I heard the reicpes one was very well regarded and was similarly cut for "streamlining". Did anyone end up taking that content over and is that a possibility in this case?

      would of thought they could spin them off as separate with the BBC/Government holding shares both are probably very viable
      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

          The BBC are too thick to work out a viable way to do that.

          Ideally they would make them commercial but people like Murdoch moan that it ain't fair.

            Makes sense - after Brexit almost nobody will be able to afford to travel anyway.

              Only if there's Transgender travel reports.

              I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

                  Doesn't everyone use Traffic England or it's Scots/ Welsh equivalent?
