Enjoy a relaxing journey from Cambridge to St Ives and discover how our guidewheel technology allows drivers to take their hands off the wheel as the bus glides along the track.

Explore the history of the former Varsity Line to Oxford on our South Section, linking Cambridge railway station, Addenbrooke’s Hospital, and the park-and-ride site at Trumpington.
