Busway users need to brace themselves for yet more changes – this will be the fifth Busway timetable to operate in 2024 alone – coming into operation next Sunday, November 3rd, just nine weeks after the previous set. The latest revisions apply only to the Monday to Friday B service, so users of the A need read no further.
There will be a significant reduction in the number of journeys operating between Cambridge City Centre and the Biomedical Campus and/or Long Road 6th Form College. The number of southbound trips along this section of the route is being reduced from thirteen to just five. Northbound journeys are reduced from the current thirteen to four. It’s worth remembering that this southern stretch is served only during peak hours.
But there is better news for passengers between St Ives and Cambridge City Centre. There will be an additional five journeys overall in each direction between the Park & Ride and Drummer Street.
There are also changes to departure times of many services along the whole of route B.
Stagecoach’s announcement notes the significant congestion impacting journey times between the city and the Biomedical Campus. With little immediate (or medium-term) prospect of anything changing in this regard, prospects for the future in this regard look bleak.
A copy of the new timetable is available from the Stagecoach website.
