Lockdown 3-related service changes

Changes to services arising from the latest lockdown (commonly referred to as “Lockdown 3”) will be posted here as we become aware of them. This includes the reintroduction of, or revision to services impacted by Lockdown 3.

Final update: 16th June

FROM MONDAY 17th MAY ALL FORWARD-FACING SEATS ON BUSES CAN BE USED (EXCEPT THOSE BEHIND THE DRIVER). Social distancing must still be observed otherwise.

Stagecoach: The Milton Road Park & Ride service is re-introduced from Sunday 20th June.

Stagecoach: From Sunday 16th May the Trumpington Road Park & Ride service will see an additional outbound service at 18.00 (Mon-Sat) and a corresponding additional service from Trumpington at 18.20. There are also minor changes to the Citi 4, 13, 18 and 915 services. See the Stagecoach website for more detailed information.

Stagecoach: From Monday 10th May the Milton Road Park & Ride service will be suspended. This is to free up buses for routes on which there is a greater demand (initially on the 13 and some other routes).

Stagecoach: There are a number of changes to services taking effect from 11th April. Most notable is the reintroduction of all of the Park & Ride services – but see above regarding a change from 10th May. But there are many – mostly minor – changes to a variety of services (some of these changes themselves resulting from the reintroduction of P&R routes). Some of these involve route changes. Services affected are: Busway A/B/C, Citi 4, Citi 5, Citi 6, Citi 7, Citi 8, 11, 12, 13/13A/13B/X13, 18, 22, 39, 66, 915.

Stagecoach: On the following Sunday 18th April, Stagecoach are making changes to services 904 and 905.

** For full details of the April 11th and 18th changes see Stagecoach documentation. And timetables can be found here. **

Stagecoach: The reopening of schools means that further changes are being introduced from 7th March. These affect services 16A, 19, 604, 606, 607 and 613.

And below is a summary of changes that were introduced in January:

• A revised 905 timetable.
• Park & Ride services are suspended (with the exception of the Stetchworth runs). Rural routes will divert to serve Babraham Road, Madingley Road and Newmarket Road sites. Milton Park & Ride will not have any bus services. The Trumpington site continues to be served by other routes (but see below regarding Busway changes).
• On the Busway, route C is suspended, and there will changes to the frequency of services on routes A & B.
• Other routes: A reduced frequency will operate on the 18 and 66, essentially resulting in a two-hourly service, whilst the 905 will operate only hourly. There are also minor changes to times of the 915 and V5 services. Duplicate school services on route 904 are withdrawn.
