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.

Accident at Longstanton - again
Details are sketchy, but there's been another accident early this morning at Longstanton, where the Busway crosses the B1050. Just over a couple of months after a similar incident. This one also involves a van. What information there currently is (0900) can be found courtesy of the Cambridge News. According to the County Council's traffic feed on Twitter, the road (and, presumably, the Busway) had reopened by 0800.

should it be treated more like a railway crossing
ReplyDeleteI saw the aftermath, transit van type thing had gone into the left-hand side of the bus. It looks like it hit and the bus dragged it along a little. The people sat in those chairs on the left, must have had the shock of their lives.
ReplyDeleteThe irony was the Van was a business promoting safety at work...
Company that owns the Van have posted in the comments on CEN.
ReplyDeleteThanks, James. Can you provide a link to the comments about the accident?
