We have Solicitors, barrister, and consultants appointed for the public inquiry due to be held this winter for the alternative route that provides greater transport benefits, is £100m cheaper and doesn’t trash our countryside! For more information visit bw4b.org

The Bonkers Busway Cambs news @facebook page has somehow been silenced but thankfully the @CambridgeIndy is giving locals a voice. To help #SaveCotonOrchard, more info, sign petition or link to donate to @CambridgePPF #FightingFund see @CotonBusway cotonbuswayaction.com
Save our countryside around the Magog Down as well! Conservative and Green Party are the only ones supporting the better bus route that saves it.
Cambs County, 1 May please vote for a candidate that doesn’t want to throw nature under a £200m+ busway to Grange Road🌳🚌❌ Help #SaveCotonOrchard 🗳️🟢⚪️🔵✅

A great letter in @CambridgeIndy spelling out what’s Bonkers about the GCP busway: £200m+ to bulldoze @MadingleyHill & Coton Orchard, carve up the green belt, and deliver… four buses an hour to Grange Road. Masterful planning❗️Now, Minister, any chance of some uncommon sense❓🤔

Happy New Year all 😃
Could 2025 be the year the opportunity is seized to initiate investment in a mass transit system for Cambridge? We look forward to working with you to build a transit system for our region that’s fit for the next quarter century, & beyond😃

Here in @DefraGovUK Minister @DanielZeichner’s home county, nature, farms, and farmers at @MadingleyHill are being sacrificed—both literally and figuratively thrown under the bus. Help #SaveCotonOrchard and #StandWithMadingleyHill ✏️ change.org/p/save-the-green-…

If you want to grow Cambridge EWR is not a good approach. The chosen route does not support local plans, predicted passenger numbers are pathetic and the associated housing would just put lots more cars on the road.

Brings to mind Liddle’s @thetimes article. He’s ridiculing C2C @MadingleyHill but it hits the mark for CSET @MagogDown too: “I’ve never been convinced that building new roads, even if they’re for vehicles powered by distilled unicorn tears, is hugely environmentally friendly.”

A decision on CSET, @GreaterCambs’ southeast Cambridge busway, will be made by @CambsCC on 22 October 2024.
Papers for the meeting are now available...

Countdown to the #GE: where do parties stand on key South Cambs issues—C2C/CSET bonkers busways, East West Rail southern route, sewage plant move to Honey Hill❓ Huge environmental/economic costs, little public benefit. Have your say. Vote on July 4th #SouthCambsElection 🗳️

Well, @LibDems voted to drive a bus through Coton Orchard and it looks as though they intend to do it. Environmental credentials on paper only @pippaheylings
"Liberal Democrats are go!"
Sir Ed Davey, the leader of the Liberal Democrats, is launching his party's general election campaign in Cambridgeshire.
He arrived at the location in the party's "battlebus" which is called "Yellow Hammer 1"

Quality rail can easily capture many commuting trips from car. No need for that 2nd car. People will regularly walk a mile to a rail station, & cycling (to station) can, due to utter reliability, be quick than car for a 3mile trip. Drivers rarely cover true cost of their car trip

There were six railway lines into Cambridge: from Ely, Haverhill, Liverpool Street, Newmarket, Oxford and King’s Cross. Why do the government think that re-opening the one from Oxford will be “transformational” for Cambridge? Why didn't the others already do that?#EastWestRail

…“without urgent intervention a lack of [electricity] capacity will prevent current technology footprints from expanding”. Light rail, the most energy efficient mass transit available, uses <half energy of electric buses…
