We are making service changes to some routes in Cambridgeshire from Sunday 31st August 2025
We have been in discussion with the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) about the updates since January, and hope that discussions can continue on how the routes can be best served.
These service changes are needed to keep the local bus network viable after the rise in National Insurance increased annual costs by £1m per year, putting the cost of provision up for those services already struggling to cover their cost of operation. Please find an overview of these changes below.
Route 8A (Orchard Park - Cambridge City Centre)
There will be a new timetable introduced which is tailored to meet current passenger demand as congestion has been an inhibiting factor in further passenger growth.
Route 9 (Littleport - Ely-Cambridge)
The timetabled part of this service which is operated by Stagecoach East will be passed over to the CPCA in order for them to find another operator to run this service.
School Routes 604 (Milton - Impington); 606 (Impington - Cambridge); and 607 (Trumpington-Sawston):
These services will be withdrawn due to extremely low passenger numbers.
Route 31 (Ramsey - Peterborough) and Route 33 (March - Peterborough):
These routes will be partly amalgamated so that the 33 operates an hourly service between Whittlesey and Peterborough, no longer serving March, but providing new direct links from Whittlesey to Peterborough Hospital
