A letter in this week's Hunts Post (5 September, page 6) from a Houghton resident describes an incident at Drummer Street Bus Station when a Stagecoach bus driver watched a passenger run for the bus, and drove off when the  passenger was within about three paces of the bus door. Two other Stagecoach drivers who saw the incident simply shrugged their shoulders.

Timetable changes from 4th September

Stagecoach have just announced improvements to the Sunday service starting from 4th September. Buses will run every 20 minutes (instead of hourly) between St Ives Bus Station and Drummer Street from 08.40 until 17.00, returning from Drummer Street 09.20 until 17.40.

However, the overall timings have been slowed down.

On Sundays, Cambridge to St Ives will take 36 minutes instead of 32, St Ives to Huntingdon is increased by 2 minutes, and Huntingdon to St Ives by 11 minutes.

On weekdays, most journeys starting at Huntingdon are allowed an extra 5 minutes - presumably to improve punctuality and even spacing of buses on route B, which hitherto tend to leave St Ives late. Of course, they often arrived late from Huntingdon in the old days, but usually drivers could catch up a bit on the A14.
