Cambridgeshire guided busway due to open
A long-awaited guided busway system for Cambridgeshire is due to open this weekend.
Buses will run between Cambridge and Huntingdon on dedicated tracks in a bid to cut road congestion.
The system was originally expected to begin carrying passengers in spring 2009, but the scheme has been plagued by delays and contractual disputes.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony will mark the official unveiling of the £116m project on Sunday.
Busway services will run seven days a week and the council anticipates that 3.5 million trips will be taken on the buses each year.
Key stops will include Trumpington, Longstanton and Addenbrookes Hospital.
