One of my neighbours has just told me that the bus he was returning from Cambridge to St Ives today broke down near Longstanton due to an engine fault. He said smoke was billowing out of the bus's engine, and passengers had to walk to Longstanton where they were picked up by another bus that had reached there by ordinary roads.
The affected section of the busway was closed for a while and buses had to be diverted.
The incident is reported by the Cambridge News here.
The Cambridgeshire Guided Busway linking St Ives, Cambridge and Trumpington opened on 7 August 2011. This blog is now closed to new posts and comments. It was set up for people who travelled the busway, either as bus passengers, or users of the cycle/footpath such as pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders. The blog remains visible as a historic record. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to the blog over the past decade.
