Andy must have got lost when driving Gwen and Rhys during Children of Earth: Day Five! Current scene mapping shows him driving along Byron Road, then following a bend on Cae Brynton Road, a little later he is on Rupert Brooke Drive heading towards No 13 Rupert Brooke Drive, but somehow misses it, ends up along Gaer Road and then finally back along Byron Road where he started!
