Entwistle is no longer a request stop.
Also the Cumbrian Coast no longer has request stops.

I should have known better than to believe the National Rail site…
Curious, should there be something on the map to make a weird pattern like this clear or is it one of those things that's so small as @mattpharrison said where not having it is a much better visual decision. I mean on an online map you could at least show something when you hover over it with notes about the station etc.

This is true, no? I recall it changing a couple of years ago.
It is true. It is no longer a request stop. The map previously showed it as a request stop, along with Deganwy, Conwy, Penmaenmawr and Llanfairfechan, but has since removed the request stop flag at these stations.

National Rail have released a new interactive map at https://railmap.nationalrail.co.uk/#/mapview which features some interesting anomalies.

Alresford (Essex) is listed as Arlesford (Mid Hants)
Southern apparently run services into London Euston
Avanti West Coast call at Rugeley Trent Valley
Avanti customers would certainly have a problem alighting at Rugeley TV as only two coaches would fit on Platform. The new 730 units that run between Euston and Crewe via the Trent Valley line can only open from three coaches out of the ten that's now run on there.I don't think Avanti stock have Selective Door opening do they?

Someone's been working on this - checking my previous post, Deansgate-Castlefield has had the spelling corrected, as has Hyson Green Market on the Nottingham trams.

However the Nottingham tram stop Butler's Hill has gone from 'bulter's Hill' to 'Bulter's Hill' - while a step in the right direction, it's still wrong.

I though I'd another small error: On the West Midlands Metro, "Brindley Place" is shown as "Brindleyplace". But no, that's the correct name for the metro stop and some of the surrounding venues (e.g. Turtle Bay restaurant).

But it does appear as "Brindley Place" on the UK street map, the "Be At One" cocktail bar locates itself at "Brindley Place", and the bus stops say "Brindley Place". Bit of a dog's breakfast really!

Only the 805/807 AT300 units have full ASDO. On the 390s, only the rear 2 or 3 coaches can be deselected as far as I'm aware.
Speaking of Avanti, they are shown as not calling at Lockerbie or Hartford, even though Lockerbie has a small handful of Avanti services per day.
Hartford is served by 2 Avanti services per day on Mondays to Fridays. They're also shown as calling at Shotton, even though only TfW services stop there.
