Not only is Fenstanton shortly to join the Busway network (a term I've just made up to describe the off-Busway services than continue to/from the Busway without the need to change buses...), but Whippet also plan to increase their "C" services (albeit by terminating in Cambridge City Centre and not serving the Railway Station - and omitting Somersham at the other end). Here's the full announcement from Whippet.
"Route C from 2 September 2017 We will be increasing
the number of journeys between St Ives and Cambridge, Drummer Street
Bus Station to provide a bus up to every 30 minutes on Mondays to
Saturdays. Buses will continue to operate every hour on Sundays, but the
gap at midday will be removed so the service is regular throughout the
day. Route C will no longer serve Cambridge Railway Station, Somersham
or Hills Road/Ramsey Road in St Ives. Some morning and afternoon
journeys will start and finish at Fenstanton, providing residents with
their first Busway service to Cambridge and a Sunday service."
This is part of a major shake-up of Whippet local bus services. Anyone interested in the "bigger picture" will want to read this announcement.
Fenstanton was, for a short while, served by a Stagecoach "feeder" bus to St Ives Park and Ride.
