Tuesday 28 October 2025 (1316) – Central Connect 348 (SK73 COJ), an Alexander Dennis (ADL) Enviro200D new in December 2023, seen in St. Andrew’s Street, Cambridge. Service 100 links Drummer Street Bus Station with Waterbeach and the Cambridge Research Park at Landbeach operating every 30 minutes. The tracker on the Bus Times website showed this bus had worked the 1245 service from Landbeach (due at the Bus Station at 1320 but arriving 1314). It then departed on time as the 1325 service back to Landbeach so I am not sure why it was at this location other than the driver taking a few minutes to himself in Park Terrace. Three Stagecoach East buses are in the background – yes, three because, horror of horrors and not noticed until I was studying the photograph at home, just visible between the two main subjects is 10802 (SN66 WAA) which carries the heritage Cambus livery celebrating 40 years of operation.
