Stagecoach East 21366 (BU69 XXD) in St. Ives - 1 Sep 2022 (P1130153)

Thursday 1 September 2022 (1126) – Stagecoach East 21366 (BU69 XXD), an MCV eVoRa bodied Volvo B8RLE new in February 2020, seen leaving St. Ives bus station. This was the 1015 service A from Trumpington Park & Ride to St. Ives (Morrisons).

Service A travels on the southern section of the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway between Trumpington Park & Ride to Cambridge Railway Station then on normal road through Cambridge city centre to Kings Hedges. From Kings Hedges it joins the northern section of the Busway to travel to St. Ives Park & Ride where the Busway ends. It is just a short distance (approx. 0.3 mile/500 metres) to St. Ives bus station and onward to the Morrisons Supermarket (a further mile/1.6km) by normal roads.

The rather grand buildings that form the exit of the bus station are the gates to the old Cattle Market which date from the late 1800s.

I travelled on five Busway buses today:
13907 Histon to Longstanton
21233 Longstanton to Histon
13902 Histon to Longstanton
21366 Longstanton to St. Ives
13904 St. Ives to Histon
