Default Replacement travel information?

BBC URL http://www.bbc.co.uk/travel/ now says "The BBC Travel website
is no longer available".

What would readers recommend instead? I know of these :-

http://www.theaa.com/traffic-news/index.jsp
http://www.rac.co.uk/route-planner
http://www.surreycomet.co.uk/li/traffic_and_travel.in.Bognor/

Where does the Surrey Comet get its overlay data from?


For road travel? A combination of Google Maps (for real time
congestion data) and the Highways Agency incident site (for incidents).

For rail? nationalrail.co.uk and TOC sites/Twitter feeds.

For coach? The NatEx/Megabus sites and Twitter feeds.

For local bus? There isn't a reliable source of information, nor was
the BBC as bus companies rarely supplied them with it.
