Guided bus rails & ditch
Guided bus rails & ditch
Until recently the only rails were stored at TL4555 : Neat piles of concrete rails. I guess this is the stock pile for the rail which will run up to Cambridge railway station. TL4555 : Soon to be a 'Guided Bus' bridge, TL4555 : Varsity Line prepares for 'Guided Busway', TL4555 : Future route for Guided Bus and TL4555 : Preparing for the guided bus.
Cambridgeshire Guided Busway

Funding for the 'Guided Busway' was first applied for in July 2002. Cambridgeshire was awarded £92.5 million. By 2009 the estimated cost was put at £116.27million, in 2010 this estimate had risen to £161.0 million. By the end of 2010 the overall cost of this much delayed project was put at £180+ million.
Early photos taken during the construction phase were first taken in December 2007, it opened on 7 August 2011. See LinkExternal link for the official take on the route and services.
