Better bus routes

Stagecoach are currently reviewing all of their routes. Greater Cambridge Partnership are examining ‘Choices for Better Journeys‘ whilst the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority commissioned a Strategic Bus Review and have set up a bus review task force.

This post is designed for your suggestions about new or reformed bus routes. It is not the Cambridge Area Bus Users Executive Committee’s ideas for reform. It is your page.

Here are some ideas which we’ve heard:

  • Why can’t Bar Hill services use the Guided Busway and serve Cambridge North Station?
  • Couldn’t there be direct Willingham – busway – Cambridge services?
  • What about a Waterbeach – Horningsea – Perne Road Sainsbury’s – Addenbrooke’s service?
  • Why can’t Milton Road residents use the Milton P&R services?
  • Could route B pick up Histon Road passengers?
  • Why is there no service to Cambridge North Station from Histon Road, Arbury, King’s Hedges, or Orchard Park?
  • Why is there no orbital service in Cambridge? (But where do you think it should go?)
  • Why are peak extensions to Caxton, Longstowe, The Gransdens, Eltisley on route 18 rather than the faster route 4?
  • Why can’t some route 4 buses serve South Cambridgeshire District Council offices?
  • Could there be a fast service from Cambourne to Addenbrooke’s via the M11?
  • Why are there no busses on the southern guideway to Addenbrooke’s and Trumpington P&R on Sundays?
  • With Sunday being such a busy shopping day, couldn’t there be Sunday buses from my village?

  1. St Neots needs some alternative to the execrable X5 peak service (in the morning stuck on the stationary A428 and Madingley Hill; in the evening delayed by anything between here and Oxford). There’s currently a Busway A which comes as far as Buckden, but why couldn’t it do a couple of miles more to a far more populous endpoint?

  2. I live in Alconbury Village and the 46a bus service we have in the village to Huntingdon is absolutely dreadful. It is operated by Dews using a basic minibus with three services per day to Hampton and five services per day to Huntingdon all operating at irregular times. Would it not be possible to slightly re-route the current B bus which is routed via Ermine Street as in my opinion it would increase the patronage on that service and would ensure Alconbury Village has a decent public transport service. We should all now be trying to reduce the number of car journeys and giving people the option of using public transport and the better the service more people will travel.
