Didn't spot the other feeds hiding in the top right corner so yes I
guess pipes isn't needed unless a few feeds need mixing together, or

We live just off M5 jn 13,  my wife works in Aztec West and I work in
Cheltenham so the M5 is pretty much all we're interested but there are
good possibilities for other routes - one of the guys here commutes
from Chepstow and now wants me to show him how to do this for his
route!
