    Stagecoach East (Bedford, Cambridge, Huntingdon and Peterborough)

    Given what happened to the 26, and that there is just about to be a developer funded half hourly Waterbeach - Cambridge Service, I wouldn't get my hopes up :-( It seems like a shame Stagecoach didn't chuck it all in at once; it's the sort of thing Stephensons might have been willing to have had...

    East Anglia Bus Scene

    Stagecoach changes (no mention of the Tiger routes).

    East Anglia Bus Scene

    Bizarrely though it's really hard to find out what services the CPCA fund. For most they don't do something like the prefix to the service number that you see in many areas, and there's no logos on timetables or anything like that. They don't even advertise clearly on their own website what...

    East Anglia Bus Scene

    I honestly don't think many of the routes are long for this world. For Huntingdon the T1 has speed on its side, but the infrequency and ticketing issue will probably kill it. In any case the frequency of the B probably makes up for the slowness anyway. The T2 is ridiculous. It's not even the...

    East Anglia Bus Scene

    I want to be in favour of public transport improvements, but these ones feel implemented by someone that never travelled on a bus! I've no idea what's going on with the T numbering, and indeed the numbering in general. Within Cambridge there will be a 1, a T1 and a U1 (potential confusion...

    East Anglia Bus Scene

    The first timetable for a CPCA "Tiger" (funded by an extra council tax charge) timetable is now available: https://bustimes.org/services/t1-huntingdon-cambridge The routes starting in this round are: Tiger 1 – Huntingdon to Cambridge Tiger 2 & 3 – Cambridge North and South connections Tiger...

    What are the largest places with just one bus company?

    In Scotland I think it is Ayr (population 48k).

    Ember: Electric coach service

    Recruitment underway for Thurso, and it was reported somewhere (can't find the link now!) that their charging bay (rented on a 15 year lease) is being constructed. https://ember.recruitee.com/o/lead-driver-full-time-fort-william-2-3 (link address says Fort William, but text updated to Thurso)...

    EMR mass cancellations on Liverpool-Norwich, 19/04/25

    All week has been pretty grim, really.

    Cross Country Routes that never existed, but theoretically could have

    Ayr had a Sleeper until 1990. For a while more recently there were of course a few 'direct' trains to Edinburgh, but they weren't exactly fast!

    Overpaid delay repay

    Thanks. I've checked that my claim was correct.

    Overpaid delay repay

    I claimed delay repay for >30 (Both what the website is showing I claimed for and what happend), but have been paid for >60. Is there any legal obligation to notify the TOC?

    Longest platform- platform interchange

    Came here to give Stratford (London) a mention too! Platform 12 to the Jubilee line or either of the DLRs is quite a trek! 500m or so?

    The Green Party of England and Wales under Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay

    I think they're against every public transport project in Cambs? They're for East West rail but against it being built, and for buses but against busways.

    An operator 'doing low cost properly' - is it possible without check in?

    I don't see how there can be though. Aircraft are boarded in a limited number of places where infrastructure and staffing can be provided and shared between services via (at some point in the process) a single point of access, and people are accustomed to needing to turn up very early to go...
