Histon, The Busway, Histon and Impington (N-Bound) (on Guided Busway) to experience the guided busway and decide how much better it may have been as a railway, arriving there at 12:32 on Saturday.

We spend some time pondering this particular mode of travel and wondering if the Leigh Guided Busway in its early stages of project development will share many similarities as that too uses part of a closed railway line. We decide to carry on with the same mode of travel and board the 1307 Cambridgeshire Guided Busway service "B" to Huntingdon bus station that arrives there at 1356 on Saturday afternoon.
