Stagecoach has announced slight amendments to the route B timetable on Sundays starting from 4 August. The 1700 and 1740 journeys from Cambridge Drummer Street will run to Ramsey Road and Hill Rise instead of terminating at St Ives Bus Station.
The new timetable is available here.

Sunday evening buses
I discovered at the weekend that there are now no evening buses between Cambridge, St Ives and Huntingdon. Whippet's service 1A used to run in the evening, with final departures from Huntingdon at 21.00 and Cambridge 22.05. But this was axed a few months ago when Cambridgeshire County Council withdrew bus service subsidies in the recent financial cuts.
But, the timetable display boards at St Ives Bus Station are still displaying Sunday evening departure times for Whippet buses.
How is it that we have spent millions on providing a busway, with an intensive service during Sunday morning and afternoon - but nothing at all in the evening?

Timetable changes from 4th September
Stagecoach have just announced improvements to the Sunday service starting from 4th September. Buses will run every 20 minutes (instead of hourly) between St Ives Bus Station and Drummer Street from 08.40 until 17.00, returning from Drummer Street 09.20 until 17.40.
However, the overall timings have been slowed down.
On Sundays, Cambridge to St Ives will take 36 minutes instead of 32, St Ives to Huntingdon is increased by 2 minutes, and Huntingdon to St Ives by 11 minutes.
On weekdays, most journeys starting at Huntingdon are allowed an extra 5 minutes - presumably to improve punctuality and even spacing of buses on route B, which hitherto tend to leave St Ives late. Of course, they often arrived late from Huntingdon in the old days, but usually drivers could catch up a bit on the A14.
