There are a significant number of changes to bus services from Sunday 31st May (which means, for some services, the first day of operation in June). Some of these are changes that Stagecoach had originally planned to introduce back in January, but whose introduction was postponed.
The changes principally affect those in and around Cambridge, St Ives and St Neots. Most are relatively minor in their impact.
The list below is in service number order, regardless of operator.
1 (Stagecoach). There are timetable adjustments for journeys towards Fulbourn. [LINK TO NEW TIMETABLE]
4 (Stagecoach). During peak hours, Monday-Friday, a small number of services are diverted via Bourn Quarter. Note, though, that these additional stops may not appear in some timetable data, pending the registration of these stops in the national database. [LINK TO NEW TIMETABLE]
5A. There is a change of operator on this service. In future it will be operated by Stephensons of Essex . Two services in each direction are extended to serve St Ives Morrisons. [LINK TO NEW STEPHENSONS TIMETABLE]
6 (Stagecoach). This service is moving stop in Emmanuel Street, and will in future depart from stop E4. As a result, the 0840 (Monday-Saturday) departure is retimed to leave at 0845. [LINK TO NEW TIMETABLE]
7 (Stagecoach). This route will see an additional departure from Sawston at 0822 (Monday-Friday), as well as timing adjustments on the 1503 from Pampisford. [LINK TO NEW TIMETABLE]
8 (Cambridge-Papworth Everard service). There is a change of operator on this service. In future it will be operated by Stephensons of Essex . An 0750 Bar Hill-Papworth journey has been added to the timetable. [LINK TO NEW STEPHENSON TIMETABLE]
8A (Stagecoach). This service will be departing from Emmanuel Street, stop E5 (which is the stop also used by Stagecoach service 8). As a result it will have to travel via St Andrew’s Street, Park Terrace and Parker Street in order to reach Emmanuel Road. No other changes are being made to the timetable. [LINK TO NEW TIMETABLE]
13/13A/X13 (Stagecoach). Some adjustments are being made to the timetable to improve punctuality. [LINK TO NEW TIMETABLE]
19A (A2B – whose timetable refers to it as service 19). As you may have seen reported elsewhere, the Combined Authority has withdrawn funding for this service and the last day of operation will be Friday 5th June. Most of the route is covered by Central Connect service 100. [LINK TO CENTRAL CONNECT SERVICE 100 TIMETABLE]
46A (Star Cabs). This Tuesday-only service between Haverhill and Newmarket via Linton and other villages along the way was initially reported to have been cancelled. But it has been retendered by the Combined Authority (as this is a CPCA-supported service, even though both start and end points are in Suffolk) and Star Cabs will continue to operate it. [LINK TO TIMETABLE]
61. Another change of operator and another that will be operated by Stephensons of Essex . There are no changes to the timetable. [LINK TO STEPHENSONS TIMETABLE]
67 (Central Connect). This service has been withdrawn. See also service 69 below.
68 (Central Connect). This has been renumbered as service 69, to be operated by Stephensons of Essex.
69 (Stephensons of Essex – new service). This replaces former Central Connect service 68, retains the Boxworth-St Ives timetable, and adds one return trip per day between St Ives and Eynesbury (thus partly – but only to a very limited extent – making up for the loss of service 67). [LINK TO TIMETABLE]
905 (Stagecoach). There are changes to the timings on virtually all journeys on this route (many simply removing some rather generous allowances between stops). And there are additional trips during the afternoon peak (Monday-Friday). [LINK TO NEW TIMETABLE]
PR1 (Stagecoach – Madingley Park & Ride). Saturday timings are changing in order to improve punctuality. [LINK TO NEW TIMETABLE]
PR2 (Stagecoach – Newmarket Park & Ride). Again, there are timetable changes in order to improve punctuality. [LINK TO NEW TIMETABLE]
PR5 (Stagecoach – Milton Lark & Ride). Buses will no longer enter the Science Park site; instead they will call at the Science Park stops on Milton Road. [LINK TO NEW TIMETABLE]
T4 (Stagecoach). The 0850 from Addenbrooke’s will leave at 0840. [LINK TO NEW TIMETABLE]
