Whippet are making changes – some major, some minor – to their rural routes from Monday 2nd December.
The main change of relevance to the immediate Cambridge area is to the combined X2/X3 operation. On weekdays an additional hourly service will be added to the timetable between Huntingdon and Cambridge City Centre (not continuing towards the Railway Station and Biomedical Campus), thereby providing a half-hourly frequency throughout most of the day. And there’s an additional X2 departure from Emmanuel Street at 1845, heading to Huntingdon via Addenbrooke’s. There are consequential changes to most departure times, so it will be important to check the new timetable for specific information you might require.
On service 18 there are a couple of minor punctuality-related changes. And, further from Cambridge, an improved frequency, plus additional more minor alterations, on the 66 (St Neots/Huntingdon).
Further information, and links to all of the new timetables, is available on the Whippet website.
Whippet struggle to maintain the current hourly 18 and 66 service with quite a few cancellations, therefore how will they be able to maintain half hourly service or will this be a joint venture with Stagecoach or another operator.
