A revised timetable for the Milton Park & Ride service is being introduced from 15th March.
The service frequency has been reduced to 5 per hour, and no will no longer serve the Grafton Centre (East Road) stop. All services – inbound and outbound – will call on Milton Road at the Union Lane and Westbrook Centre stops.
According to the detailed timetable uploaded to Traveline by the County Council, all services will, in addition, call at the New Square (Short Street) Busway stops. This would be highly unusual (indeed, possibly the first time that dedicated Busway stops within Cambridge city have been used by non-Busway services). Stagecoach was asked last week to confirm that this is, indeed, the plan – this post will be updated in the light of any information received.
For more information, including a link to the new timetable, consult the news item on the Stagecoach website. For the complete, detailed timetable, go to the Traveline site (click on the “All Stops” button).
We note that these changes are cunningly hidden, on the Stagecoach website. You will not find them by clicking the ‘Service Updates’ link on the homepage (after setting your location to ‘Cambridge’). They are instead listed under ‘Promos and Offers’.
We have raised this with Stagecoach East management, but the simple job of copying and pasting the information to the correct page has not occurred to date (14/03/2020).
There is a similar issue with changes to service 5/5A/5C and forthcoming Busway improvements being cunningly hidden from search by intending passengers.
