Maintenance / Cycle Track Flooded

The Maintenance / Cycle track is deeply flooded between Swavesey and Fen Drayton, much like last year, and doubtless also flooded at all the other usual places. The west bank of Covills drain has been breached just beside the busway (see photo below), joining it to the Trout Pond.

The track looks likely to be closed for some time.

Stagecoach changes from 3rd January

Stagecoach are making further changes to Busway services from 3rd January. Some (but be careful - NOT ALL) journeys on route C will begin from/terminate at Huntingdon, rather than running only to/from St Ives. This will provide additional capacity during peak travel times whilst route B is being operated by single-deck vehicles.

Full details, and revised timetables, are on the Stagecoach website.
