Stagecoach are making another round of changes to services in the Cambridge area, taking effect from Sunday 3rd September. As usual, they have posted a summary of the changes, but that summary doesn’t cover everything.
Citi 2. There are minor timetable changes, but the most significant difference is that services are again able to stop outside Cambridge North station, rather than being exiled to “Bay 3”.
Citi 5. Certain journeys on this service are being extended to/from St Ives, utilising the Busway between Longstanton and St Ives. There will be morning peak-hour departures from St Ives, and both morning and evening departures from Cambridge. These departures operate Monday-Saturday. On Sundays there are six departures in each direction that serve St Ives. Note, though, that services will begin or end at St Ives Park & Ride, and will not be serving the Bus Station. There are changes to the timetable throughout the day, not solely limited to the introduction of through services to/from St Ives.
8A (apparently not branded as a “Citi” service). In addition to timetable changes, this is being extended to/from Buchan Street. The implication of this extension is that outbound journeys will call on the opposite side of the roads through Orchard Park from the current route. Until more detailed timetable information is available, this is uncertain.
25. There are minor timetable changes.
Busway A. Short trips between Trumpington and the Biomedical Campus will operate without a break until 4.00 Monday to Friday. All but one of the Histon Road stops that were added to the timetable in recent years are being withdrawn – in future, the only stops served by service A will be at Akeman Street. (The other Histon Road stops will be served only by the Citi 8 and 8A.) And in St Ives, another reversion to previous practice – services will no longer serve Morrisons but operate to/from Marley Road.
F. Two early evening services are being added from St Ives Bus Station to Fenstanton, operating Monday to Saturday and departing St Ives at 6.25 and 6.40.
