Regarding the service 30 (Huntingdon-Ramsey), it looks as if it will connect at Wyton Camp with the route A. However, because of the limited number service 30 journeys, the value of this arrangement will be modest. I wonder what will happen if the A coming from Cambridge is late. Will the Ramsey connection wait for it? And vice versa. I agree that extension of route B to Hinchingbrooke is a good move. But why don't all the route B services run to Hunchingbrooke? And why does only one per hour go to the rail station bus stop? Wouldn't it be better if Hinchingbrooke and the rail station had a 15 minute frequency?Andrew Bethunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711423177266767155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76868463409565053.post-31575218535680260192012-06-25T10:58:17.226+01:002012-06-25T10:58:17.226+01:00It looks like A is splitting in St Ives to provide...It looks like A is splitting in St Ives to provide a half hourly service from RAF Wyton, which travels along Hill Rise to get to Ramsey Road, and a half hourly service from the Burrell Road industrial estate travelling round Marley Road - passing the Co-op superstore to get to Ramsey Road that way. So whilst some of the town is losing its direct link to Huntingdon (still offered by Whippet), there is a wider penetration of the town with services to Cambridge - and locally a new regular link with the town's biggest supermarket. I expect Whippet will ditch service 1B given that Service A will be serving RAF Wyton half hourly to Cambridge and Service 30/35 will still offer hourly journies to Huntingdon. The direct extension on route B to Hinchingbrooke Hospital looks good - and explains the rather odd half hourly 65 bus at the moment (which was only launched this month) which isn't integrated with the 66 to Hinchingbrooke. Now we know why. I wish Stagecoach the best of luck with the new, innovative timetables.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
