Busway maintenance track blocked by maintenance vehicle (how dare they?) - in fact we crept past on the right.
Detailed view of the make up of the surface material, zoom in on the photo to get a good idea of the quantity of glass in the overlay. It also shows the elevation of the bridleway, the busway is about 200m further down.
End of the guided busway at Addenbrooke's - although it looks as if it's intended to continue ahead.
Cyclists have to use the zebra crossing to reach the start of the cycleway at St Ives!
It's not at all clear, but cyclists should use the shared-use footway to the left rather than crossing next to the car trap to reach the cycleway.
Cyclists are supposed to use the shared-use footway to the left to reach the cycleway, but some will want to pass next to the car traps here.
Cyclists are supposed to leave the cycleway on the shared-use footway to the right, but many will want to use the road here.
Awful section of cycleway - no pretence of having finished it, which is acceptable if it really is raised above flood level soon.
Minimalist guided busway stop at Fen Drayton Reserve - bike locked to the wooden railings.
Bridleway crossing west of Swavesey - unpaved for the next three miles to St Ives. The predictable excess of signs, of course.
Which would you choose? - the route with barriers (mainly for horses, it seems) or the one without?
I have no idea why they bothered with a few metres of footway on the other side of the cycleway, let alone the pointless Cyclists Dismount signage.
No signs to indicate that the cycleway moves to the other side of the guided busway - or which route you should take.
Route signs by the guided busway - it's good that this has been adopted as a bridleway, but some cycle-specific Sustrans signage would be good too.
Cycle parking at the Trumpington guided bus stop (northbound stop out of sight to the right)
Surely this sign is the wrong way around? And why the obsession with making cyclists dismount to cross a lightly used busway anyway?
Guided bus taking the corner and re-entry to the guideway very slowly. Route signs needed here for cyclists.
Gap in the guideway at the Addenbrookes junction - cyclist from Addenbrookes heading towards the station.
Bollards and sign (giving mileages, not times) at the start of the cycleway alongside the guided busway.
At last the new route under Hills Road is open! Cyclists are allowed on the road or the shared-use footway.
Note how the left-hand 6" of the blacktop is stepped down to a lower level . Given that there is no colour change at this step, it would be easy to fall off the edge in the dark. Need a white line to show the edge of the path.
Cyclists are supposed to use this inadequate path, blocked by builders, rather than the buses-only road.
No Entry Except Guided Buses on the busway - cyclists have to lose the shared-use path to the right (decorated with lots of signs banning cycle parking).
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5TJe2iGd9c and site at http://www.thebusway.info/ Currently the longest guided busway in the world. This may not last, as the contractor (who's been taken to court by the council for failure ... [more]
Photos from a ride on The Busway. James raises his fears about the guidewheel with the leader of the Busway project. The guidewheel itself is mounted on a 'sacrificial' arm. If the arm hits a kerb too severely, or has to mount a kerb awk ... [more]
Photos from a ride on The Busway - the tour party stop to inspect the guidewheel. It isn't normally as visible as this, but the bus driver has set the wheel at full lock so it can be inspected.
Photos from a ride on The Busway. From this angle the guidewheel does seem to protrude a rather long way. Here the wheel is a full lock as the bus would be making a sharp turn.
Photos from a ride on The Busway. Here the bus gets a green light to go onto the single track section, this leaves enough room for the cycleway to continue ubroken through to Trumpington Park and Ride site.
Photos from a ride on The Busway. There are extra crash barriers on this bridge - probably because it goes over a railway. The barriers are probably a requirement at rail crossings since the crash somewhere up north about 10 years ago ... [more]
Photos from a ride on The Busway - here approaching the new MRC building on the left and the bridge over the railway.
Taken from the guided bus shows the section of trackway near the 'toad tunnels'. The bus driver honks to warn the two people walking on the opposite track.
Photos from a ride on The Busway - saw quite a few family groups like this out for a ride.
Photos from a ride on The Busway - the busses can pass each other at a closing speed of over 100 mph. These buses have speed limiters fitted that tops their speed at around 56 mph.
Photos from a ride on The Busway. The delighted and excited faces of children greeting the passing bus is a common sight along the busway at the moment.
Photos from a ride on The Busway. The unfinished maintenance track / cycleway is on the left.
Photos from a ride on The Busway. Cyclists riding on the yet to be completed section of the maintenance track between St. Ives and Swavesey.
Photos from a ride on The Busway. The bus driver toots at this cyclist riding on the track of the Busway. On the left of the photo is the puddled shale surface of the cycle route.
Photos from a ride on The Busway. The bus driver can take their hands off the steering wheel while on the guided trackway.
On board a guided bus - pretty much like any other single-decker bus on the inside. There's just enough luggage space for one Brompton behind the seat on the other side, and on this side there's a Giant Halfway (20 inch wheel folding bike) ... [more]
