Hi @Stu these are the full links. Unless you can get them as I have only managed to copy them from downloading the file on my phone. This may be why they aren't a proper link.

Sorry @Stu. My phone doesn't allow me to copy the link nore does my Ipad.

The link that you have just posted @Stu is just to the main area map page. I was trying to do the separate links so people would bypass the main page and  go straight to the map that thry want to look at.

Why bypass the main page? It is much easier to just provide a link to the Maps page on the Network West Midlands website, and all the links to the various maps are there in one place.

Because some people may just want to look at the one area map and not go to the map page. I see where you're coming from, however I still think having the link to the actual map.

The link to the main maps page will remain a 'constant'. Providing direct links to the map PDF files is okay, until the maps change and so do their filenames, then the direct links will no longer work.


Anyway, just for you, here are the direct links to the PDF files from the NWM Maps page:

I grant you @Stu that evey time the map are updated the file links would be copied onto this page and the old ones deleted of the page. I'm just thinking of all the other people who are on this stie and also who just view the posts but don't coment as they aren't a member of this group
I'm sticking up for thoes people. I know that some of them would just go onto the main page and look at it that way but I'm just giving them another way of looking at them.

On the Birmingham area map, you have graphical glitches in the Terminating box for Solihull. The ♦ is displaying as a t. This error was on the previous Solihull map as well, but it appears fixed for the latest one.

EDIT: there may be more of these glitches. Another one I just noticed is on the 937A on Portland Road, Aldridge.

On the Birmingham City Centre map, the road that turns right from Digbeth onto Moat Lane is still closed and barricaded off.
