Changes are being introduced to some services in the Ely area from 2nd January 2026.
Service 9 (Cambridge-Ely-Littleport). On part of this route, the number of daily journeys is being reduced – from six to five in both directions between Cambridge and Ely, and with a similar reduction on journeys from Littleport to Cambridge. But between Ely and Littleport (in both directions) there’s close to a 100% increase in journeys.
Ely Circular 9A and Little Downham 125. These services are being combined into a new service 10, which will also operate a modified route within Ely itself. This will bring a significant increase in journeys serving Little Downham.
Integrated daytime connections are promised at Ely Market Street between services 9 and 10 – they’re all being operated by the same operator (A2B), which helps in this regard.
For links to new timetables and more information on these and other changes, go to the Upcoming Bus Route Changes page on the Combined Authority website (although, strangely, this doesn’t alert passengers to any reduction in journeys, mentioning only increases).
