The 905 bus route was launched by Stagecoach in August 2020, replacing route x5 between Bedford and Cambridge. Key points includes:
  • The 905 runs every 30 minutes Monday to Sunday.
  • Cambridge Science Park and Cambridge Regional College are only served Monday to Friday until 19:00.
  • The route operates within the Science Park on a hail and ride basis until permanent stops can be located. Those wishing to board must clearly indicate this to the driver in a safe place and those wanting to leave the bus must ring the bell in plenty of time.
  • A new timetable will operate on the route from January 10 to improve service reliability. Find out more at stagecoachbus.com
  • Double deck buses operate on this route so bikes must be folded, bagged and kept with you at all times.
  • The return journey between Bedford and Cambridge costs £11.75.
