Route K: West of England Route Plans are generally published on an annual basis including the most up-to-date position at that point in time. In 2011 we will be publishing information on a route basis as part of our Initial Industry Plan in the Autumn covering CP5 and beyond. In the meantime we have retained the 2010 Route Plans, updated where appropriate with current information including our plans to the end of CP4. This document, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the equivalent 2010 Route Plan. Should you require any further information, please contact the Route Plan 2011 mailbox at [email protected].
