Whippet are making a number of changes to their services, commencing 31st August.
X3: Sunday services will be reintroduced, and the route will benefit from a significant number of additional services, with buses operating hourly, even on Sunday. The X3 is rerouted in Cambridge to serve the Biomedical Campus and the Railway Station. (Note, though, that the main drop off stop in Cambridge City Centre is no longer Drummer Street Bus Station, but Queen’s College.) A number of journeys extend to/from Hartford in one direction and Thrapston and Corby in the other.
18: This service is replaced by the revised X3 (plus one journey from Corby operating as an X2).
400: There will be minor timing changes on this service, but Whippet haven’t released specific details at the time of writing.
478: A revised timetable means that the 478 and the X3 together provide a half-hourly frequency (Mon-Sat) between Godmanchester and Huntingdon.
X2: Whippet are also taking over commuter journeys from Papworth and Cambourne to the Biomedical Campus (formerly Stagecoach service H). This will operate as service X2 and will extend to/from the Railway Station.
Fenstanton: A number of X3 and 478 journeys operating to/from the Whippet depot will run “in service” to serve Fenstanton, providing a direct service between Fenstanton and Huntingdon for the first time in a number of years.
A new timetable leaflet covering all of the above (except the 400), and also including maps, is available to download from the Whippet website.
