Although "alternate" is used in America as an, er, alternative to alternative, here in Britain "alternate route" implies that you should use one route the first, third and fifth times and use the other the second, fourth and sixth times. |

Well, you could always FOI them and ask why it was replaced, and in so doing use up some more resources in the process... |

Another mistake, but not a spelling one. A recent-ish sign on the end of the main station building at Coulsdon South lists various bus services including the 405 to Horley, Merstham and Redhill. I assume they mean Hooley, the 405 doesn't go anywhere near Horley.
