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.

Floods affecting busway cycle track
Today's Cambridge News (17 July, page 3) includes a photo of the flooded cycle track, and a comment from Cambridgeshire County Council.
(1)we are experiencing exceptionally heavy rainfall (2)this has caused flooding including some short stretches of the 'maintenance track' (3) advanced flood warning signs have been put up (4) more heavy rain is predicted (5) the Council will monitpr water levels (6) the Council will alert users of the maintenance track to any further problems)
A comment from me. How will any maintenance be carried out if the 'maintenance track' is under water? How will the Council alert users of the maintenance track to further problems?
I wish they wold make up their mind, one minute its a bridle way next its the maintenance track, I am suprised sustrans paid to tarmac their precious maintenance track .....
