17 out of 18 bus services saved!
On this very rainy day we have some exciting news to share to cheer us all up...
Earlier this week, the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority had a meeting to discuss possible solutions to the Stagecoach route cancellations.
Today we can share the good news that 17 of the 18 services due to be cut, along with 5 services due to be reduced, have all received quotes from new operators looking to cover these services. A list of these routes can be found by clicking here.
From Monday 24th October, the names of the new bus operators and their timetables will be made public and able to view on the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority website.
We do not currently have any information about the process and procedures for Student Bus Passes, but we will share further information with you as soon as we can. Stagecoach East are offering refunds on bus passes if your route is no longer served by them. To request a refund please contact the Stagecoach customer service team.
Please find below a letter shared by the Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council with further information.

Below is a table of services and the new bus operators.
New timetables for those services can be read via the following link: New timetables from October 30 2022 v2. They may be different to the timetables operated by Stagecoach, including times and stops. As these timetables are new there may also be some initial teething problems and passengers should check with bus operators who will provide details of any known issues or changes.
