Using pgRouting with the OS Open Roads dataset

I have updated my SQL script that can be used to automatically prepare the OS Open Roads dataset for use with pgRouting:

This now works with the current version of OS Open Roads. The beauty of the OS Open Roads dataset is that it includes the start and end nodes of each road link - the topology is already created for you. There is therefore no need to run the pgRouting function pgr_createTopology().
