No through services to Cambridge either direct or via Soham and Newmarket.
But then the report says to get the heavy rail option to run regular heavy rail services to cambridge the cost is likely to be around £1bn. Surely a light rail route could be built to cambridge for cheaper or what about one of the new tram trains? The light rail would negate the problem of level crossings I think as the one I went on in Wimbledon just used traffic lights at road crossings.
Also apologies if this has been covered before, is in the right place and if I'm being a bit dim, but what is the point of a guided busway over just tarmacing over and then putting lift barriers at each end to stop cars?
As far as I can see the guided system just allows the driver to take his hands off the wheel but still has to operate the pedals so I can't see how that would be much more effort.
