Hi.
On a journey I planned on the website, the suggested route includes a seasonal way which is only present in winter. Here is a minimal journey and the problematic OSM way: https://cycle.travel/map/journey/603737, https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/453846865. The way is tagged with the seasonal restriction, but it does not seem to be considered by cycle.travel.
I would expect that such seasonal ways are only included during that season or not at all.

Just chiming in, but if this is implemented, you'd want a UI that allows you to change the tour date in case you're planning a route in the future
I’ve now fixed this so that it shows “seasonal” in the turn-by-turn instructions and also in the route summary – thanks for spotting. c.t has actually done this for a while but it wasn’t showing up for this particular way for a couple of reasons.
Unfortunately routing options are not something cycle.travel can offer because of the way the routing engine works, and yes, many people plan their tours in advance which means it wouldn’t be sensible to rule out a route usable in summer even if the date is currently December.
