Hello all,
Yes there is a snag in the feeds which is inserting a carriage return
between the .shtml and the #<id>
Eg:
<item>
<title>[Cleared] A47 West Bilney, both
ways at Dodd's Lane</title>
<description>A47 Norfolk - Road
unblocked both ways at the Dodd's Lane junction in West
Bilney.</description>
<link>http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/travelnews/int/syndication/rss/-/travelnew
s/local/norfolk.shtml
#1004660</link>
</item>
The #1004660 should be on the same line as the .shtml otherwise one gets
the url
http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/travelnews/int/syndication/rss/-/travelnews/loca
l/norfolk.shtml%0A%231004660 which is wrong and 404's)
I've passed this onto the travel team who are investigating.
I'll keep you posted,
Cheers
