Product updates

TEN-T lookup table withdrawal

The Trans-European Transport (TEN-T) network forms a set of road, rail, air and water transport networks spanning the European Union. As a result of the UK withdrawing from the European Union, the UK is no longer a part of the TEN-T network; therefore, the TEN-T lookup table has been withdrawn as of October 2023.

Next release

The next release of OS MasterMap Highways Network is scheduled for August 2024.
