It's very frustrating and perhaps illustrates what an inadequate solution to public transport the busway is. 33 minutes between St Ives and Central Cambridge is slower than the pre-busway timetable (though that had to contend with frequent delays on the A14). Busway services are still not immune to delays caused by traffic congestion. Have you considered cycling when the weather is decent? I'm pretty sure you could make it to Addenbrooke's in less than 90 minutes.Andrew Bethunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711423177266767155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76868463409565053.post-26782978196487120672014-09-16T09:05:16.958+01:002014-09-16T09:05:16.958+01:00I'm new to St Ives, so I've only been usin...I'm new to St Ives, so I've only been using the guided bus for the past week to get to Addenbrookes.<br /><br />The route A buses are packed before they even get to St Ives of a morning and 1.5 hours to get from Ramsey Road to Addenbrookes is ridiculous, especially when standing for most of it.<br /><br />I think there are still plenty of lessons to learn!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
