The road out of Fenstanton towards Huntingdon - 9 Sep 2025 (P1220176)

Tuesday 9 September 2025 (approx. 0950) – Traffic heading westbound towards Huntingdon out of the village of Fenstanton uses this single carriageway one-way road which runs alongside the former A14 (now A1307) dual carriageway (which is behind the trees on the left). Traffic heading westbound for Fenstanton uses the dual carriageway.

Huntingdon Road was once the main truck road through here (at the time numbered A604) before the construction of the dual carriageway circa 1970s. Over the years the tree growth has encroached onto the road surface once used by eastbound traffic to the right of what appears to be the once centre line of the road.

Even older, in Roman times this was the route of Via Devana which linked Colchester and Chester.

I was travelling on Whippet Coaches WG457 (BU25 ZFF), one of the two MCV eVoSeti bodied Volvo B8L tri-axle double deckers added to the fleet in June 2025 to operate The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) franchised ‘Tiger’ branded service T1 between Cambridge and Huntingdon. This was the 0905 service T1 from Cambridge to Huntingdon.
