We added net 48 regions (+57 new and -9 old). The 9 old regions aren't disappearing but just being redrawn with a consistent methodology. For example, many of the mega regions drawn around places like Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, etc., didn't adhere to widely accepted statistical or administrative bounds and so we are updating them and adding new ones around them where activity has spilled over. We also focused on adding regions in places like Edinburgh, Cardiff, Birmingham, Norwich and Cornwall where we are seeing consistent activity.
