Tuesday 9 September 2025 (1143) – Longstanton Park and Ride on the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway.

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) is embarking on a franchising model for the region’s bus services. Bus services are branded ‘Tiger’ and have ‘T’ prefixed service numbers.

Whippet Coaches Limited is the operator of service T1, a service that operates from Cambridge to Huntingdon travelling from Drummer Street bus station to join the Busway at Milton Road. It leaves the Busway at the Swavesey crossing taking to normal roads through the villages of Swavesey and Fenstanton.

Two MCV eVoSeti bodied Volvo B8L tri-axle double deckers were added to the fleet specifically for the service in June 2025. These carry fleet numbers WG457/458 and registrations BU25 ZFF and BU25 ZFE (in that order).

I was riding on WG458 working the 1116 service from Huntingdon to Cambridge and in this shot WG457 is seen working the 1115 service from Cambridge to Huntingdon.

(A2B Travel Group is the operator of service T12 which operates from Longstanton to Sutton-in-the-Isle via Willingham and Earith. On the right is RJ25 UKX, an Ilesbus bodied Iveco. (This vehicle may have initially been allocated registration RK74 ZSJ)
