The Cambridgeshire Guided Busway linking St Ives, Cambridge and Trumpington opened on 7 August 2011. This blog is now closed to new posts and comments. It was set up for people who travelled the busway, either as bus passengers, or users of the cycle/footpath such as pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders.
The blog remains visible as a historic record. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to the blog over the past decade.

Flooding update
The water level on the cycle track between St Ives and Fen Drayton Lakes has dropped a few inches today, but the two short flooded sections east of Fen Drayton haven't yet started to recede.
Thanks for your comment, Jennie. There has been virtually no change for the last couple of days except that the water level is very, very slowly subsiding. From my vantage point on the 07.32 A bus this morning, it looked as if there is still a long flooded section south/east of Fen Drayton Lakes. Nearer the river, the track is virtuall dry, apart from a small puddle close to eth flood underpass. So you are quite wise to make the detour. However, I don't know how deep the water is. Maybe it is now shallow enough to cycle through? Has anyone tried to cycle or wade through this section?
Has anyone got an update on the flooding on the cyclepath - am fed up of going the long way round.
