Pipedream bought by Route Assembly

Hopefully a good thing. Something’s clearly not been right at Pipedream lately.

I don’t know anything more about Route than their website blurb, but they appear half sensible and at least they’re not an Evans or similar.

I did wonder/worry something was going on as availability etc. has seemingly been low/an issue for a while now as I’d been keen to get hold of a Sirius S5 but didn’t manage to get hold of anyone when asking about next batches etc. so I feared they were quietly going under.

If this does mean business as usual(ish) and stock being available again from UK sources then hopefully it’s all/mostly good news!
