Cambridgeshire Guided Busway

Common card · No. 483503

The Cambridgeshire Guided Busway is a guided busway and bus rapid transit that connects Cambridge, Huntingdon and St Ives in Cambridgeshire, England. It is the longest guided busway in the world, surpassing the O-Bahn Busway in Adelaide, South Australia. Two guided sections make up 16 miles (25 km) of the route. The northern section, which uses the course of the former Cambridge and Huntingdon railway, runs through the former stations of Oakington, Long Stanton and Histon. The southern section, which uses part of the former Varsity Line to Oxford, links Cambridge railway station, Addenbrooke's Hospital and the park-and-ride site at Trumpington via housing on the Clay Farm site. Services are operated by Stagecoach in Huntingdonshire and Whippet, which have exclusive use of the route for five years in exchange for providing a minimum service frequency between 07:00 and 19:00 each weekday. Specially adapted buses are used: the driver does not need to hold the steering wheel on the guided sections...
