Major Disruption to 18 & 18A Bus Service Next Week

Comberton Road will be closed at Hines Farm/Horseman’s Yard at the building site to connect to the mains sewers. The road closure is booked from 7th to 10th April with access for pedestrians and cyclists only. This severely impacts the 18 and 18A bus services through Barton that use the B1046 Comberton Road. Whippet have sent out the following message:

“Due to the road closure on Comberton Road, our 18/18A services have been severely impacted. We were unsuccessful in achieving authorisation to allow any of our services through while work is being carried out.

Therefore, have made the following decision for our services, all 18A services will serve Barton via A603, High Street and using the B1046 towards A603. Then using the M11 to junction 13, using Madingley Road, Hardwick/Long Road to Swaynes Lane returning to normal line of route for all outbound journeys and the reverse for inbound journeys. Our 18 services throughout the off-peak times will not serve Barton at all, however, the peak time inbound journeys and outbound journeys will follow the diversion as stated above”
