Guided Busway now open

The guided busway officially opened on Sunday 7 August -- and is now giving patients and visitors another way of getting to the hospitals.

 

 

The Huntingdon to Trumpington service runs from Monday to Saturday and provides a direct, traffic-free route between the Trumpington Park & Ride, the hospital campus, and Cambridge railway station. There are several stops around the hospitals including the outpatients department and the Addenbrooke's Treatment Centre.

 

Dr Mary Archer, chairman of Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said:

 

"I am very pleased to see the first guided buses bringing patients, visitors and staff to Addenbrooke's and the Rosie.

 

"We have always encouraged people to consider alternatives to driving to help ease congestion and reduce the pressure on parking spaces.

 

"This new link between the Park & Ride, the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, and the railway station is an excellent addition to our existing transport arrangements."

 

Ian Bates, Cambridgeshire County Council's Cabinet Member for Growth and Planning, said:

 

"My wife has needed regular treatment at Addenbrooke's over the last few years and we are always overwhelmed by the fantastic service we receive. However, getting Doreen to appointments when Cambridge traffic is at its peak is not a happy experience.

 

"With The Busway in full service it will be the best option for us in future and I'm sure many more people visiting the hospital will follow suit to take all the hassle out of their journeys."

 

Details of tickets and pricing can be found on the Busway pages of the County Council website.
