Stagecoach in Huntingdonshire 15220 - Busway route B - Cambridge
Stagecoach operates two routes on the Cambridge guided busway, although neither run completely on it as it does not reach the city centre. Route B, pictured here, use double deck vehicles and runs from Peterborough (hourly) or Hinchingbrooke hospital (half hourly) or Huntingdon Rail Station (half hourly) to Huntingdon Bus Station (every 15 minutes.) From that point the route the runs through Oxmoor and Hartford to St Ives. The busway starts at St Ives park and ride and runs through Swavesey, Longstanton, Oakington, Histon and Impington to Orchard Road, where the busway ends and the route uses on street running into Cambridge City Centre. There is a further part of the busway to the south of the city, but this is not served by route B.
The busway section on this route took over the path of the former Cambridge and Huntingdon railway - this last ran passenger services in 1970.
In this photo fleet number 15220 is nearly at its central Cambridge terminus. It is a Scania N230UD with ADL Enviro 400 bodywork, Stagecoach's preferred type for interurban work.
