If they were to detach the Huntingdon-Peterborough route and run it with ordinary buses (as it used to be) they could then run all 4 Bs per hour to Huntingdon Rail Station and Hinchingbrooke Hospital, which would be much more useful.<br /><br />Regarding deployment of A and B branded buses, there is the odd double decker A during the morning and afternoon peak but they can't travel the route beyond Cambridge Railway Station due to the low bridge under Hills Road. Likewise, the B service is sometimes a single decker. You could be right about Bs being off the road at present.Andrew Bethunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711423177266767155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76868463409565053.post-38148267726180572072013-03-07T22:26:08.541+00:002013-03-07T22:26:08.541+00:00I'm 95% certain I saw a non-GB vehicle operati...I'm 95% certain I saw a non-GB vehicle operating a westbound "B" service close to Peterborough last Friday afternoon. And then within the next hour or so I saw two further "B" services in the Huntingdon area being operated by "A"-branded Stagecoach vehicles. Perhaps an unusually high number of "B" buses are off the road at present?Hugh Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17801986113143054571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76868463409565053.post-67178160662524569342013-03-06T12:00:55.662+00:002013-03-06T12:00:55.662+00:00Just had a text message from Brendan who is on a b...Just had a text message from Brendan who is on a bus from St Ives to Cambridge. The track seems to be clear now, so whatever was wrong with the bus, they must have managed to shift it off the track.Andrew Bethunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711423177266767155noreply@blogger.com
