It looks like 3 digit NCN "national route" references are replacing the two-digit, per-region NCN "regional routes".
From http://www.sustrans.org.uk/what-we-do/national-cycle-network/route-numbering-system <http://www.sustrans.org.uk/what-we-do/national-cycle-network/route-numbering-system> "For the purposes of numbering Regional Routes, the UK has been divided into ten regions, with Regional Routes numbered 10-99 within each region, number allocation being generally based on the larger counties. The signing convention will be the same as for the National Routes except for using a blue, rather than red, number patch (as pictured above). Over the next five years Regional Routes will be re-numbered using three digit National Route numbers." NB. All OSM-tagged ncn and rcn routes are actually national cycle network (NCN) routes with ncn indicating NCN national route and rcn indicating NCN regional route. Dropping regional route designations altogether will further confuse this.
