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.

Cutting of busway verges
Thanks to David Parish for getting in touch by email about the cutting of the grass verges along part of the busway.
David's comments and photos now appear in the next blog post (19 August).
The comments attached to this topic should be read in conjunction with the 19 August posting.
If it's the St Ives-bound platform you're referring to, then that's Path 22 in Histon parish; if it's the City-bound side it's path 6 in Impington parish. (Giving specifics - even lots of them - is likely to be more effective than a general moan about overhanging obstacles.)
Absolutely nothing has happened re preventing flooding. It's been pretty dry over the summer (my outdoor tomatoes haven't succumbed to blight) and water levels in the Ouse have remained low. So I think that, until the next flood, the Council probably isn't interested.
The path/cycleway at Histon Station is a public bridleway, so any problems should be notified to the County Council. Here's the place to go to:

Good luck!
Any news about what there going to do to prevent flooding? Weren't they going to trial floating bridges or something?
