Picture
Are you looking for new bridleways and footpaths to explore on the weekends?

Cambridgeshire County Council has launched an innovative online tool to help residents enjoy the outdoors and exercise safely during the lockdown and beyond. The new Rights of Way map seeks to encourage Cambridgeshire residents and visitors, to explore the county’s extensive Rights of Way network which contains over 3,000 km of footpaths, bridleways and byways. There are several different types of rights of way and you have the right to walk along all of them. Some rights of way are also open to horse riders, cyclists or motorists. The map can be accessed here, zoom into the map and click on the path that is of interest to view more information.
​

The Rights of Way map also allows users to enjoy the great outdoors via smartphone’s with GPS signal.

26/3/2021

 
Picture
With the planned return of non-essential retail, Stagecoach will be making alterations to some of their Cambridge services and timetables. The following bus services for the Cambridge North area will operate to the January 3rd timetables.

  • Milton Park & Ride: buses will operate every 10 minutes Monday-Sunday daytimes and every 20 minutes after 18:00.
  • Route 905: Monday-Friday frequency will be increased from hourly to every 30 minutes.
  • Route A: This route will extend to serve St Ives Morrison’s via the Burrell Road industrial estate.
  • Route A & B: Buses will operate Monday-Saturday every 20 minutes throughout the day (30 minutes on Sunday)
  • Route C: will return to operation between Huntingdon and Cambridge via St Ives. Buses will operate Monday-Friday every 10 minutes at peak times only. Student travelling to Long Road Sixth Form College are advised to use C service where possible as this will be operated by double-deck buses and have a larger capacity than the single deck B service.
 
Busway A/B/C combines to provide the following frequencies between St Ives and Cambridge:
  • 5 minutes peak time-frequency Monday-Friday
  • 10 minutes off-peak frequency Monday-Friday
  • 10 minutes daytime frequency on Saturday
  • 15 minutes daytime frequency on Sunday

If travelling for reasons other than education, please avoid travelling at peak school travel times if possible (06:00-09:00 & 15:00-16:30). For more information, please visit here. 

Travelling Safely by Bus

26/3/2021

 
Picture
​Stagecoach has outlined how to travel safely by bus here. The main points are:
  • You must wear a face-covering throughout your journey unless you are exempt.
  • Use the Stagecoach Bus App's Space Checker feature to check how busy the bus is likely to be and to identify the quietest travel times.
  • Allow extra time for the journey as capacity is limited on board, to allow for safe social distancing.
  • Contactless payment methods on all of our services and encourage passengers to use contactless or have the correct change where possible.
  • We undertake daily deep cleans on our vehicles and pay special attention to key touchpoints such as handrails, bells, seats and poles. Our drivers have also been provided with their own cleaning kits and sanitiser to enable them to carry out cab and saloon cleans at layover points.
A video which demonstrates  Stagecoach efforts to ensure we are providing a clean and safe service can be found here. 
 
BBC radio Cambridgeshire also visited Stagecoach Fenstanton depot in October to film behind the scenes of the depot and find out more about the cleaning procedures they have in place.

New Faster Bus Service Linking March and St Ives

26/2/2021

 
Picture
Stagecoach will be launching the Village 2 (V2 service) in partnership with the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority from 1 March 2021.
 
The V2 service will operate between March and St Ives, providing residents in rural villages such as March, Wimblington, Doddington and Chatteris better links into Cambridge without needing to use a car. Users will then have the option to change bus and to head on to Cambridge and Addenbrookes. This is the first time that an attempt has been made to provide a fast bus link between March to Cambridge.

For the full article, please visit here and the new V2 timetable, please visit here.

Census 2021

26/2/2021

 
Picture
The census is a survey about all your household and takes place every 10 years in England and Wales. The next census takes place on Sunday 21 March 2021.
​
​
Everyone must complete the census and provide accurate information. It helps decide how services are funded in your area. Organisations such as local authorities and charities use this information to plan and fund the services we all need, including transport, education and healthcare. Without the census, it would be much more difficult to do this. For more information, please visit here.
