Cambridgeshire Busway due to open

A long-awaited guided busway system for Cambridgeshire is due to open this weekend.
Buses will run between Cambridge and Huntingdon on dedicated tracks in a bid to cut road congestion.
The system was originally expected to begin carrying passengers in spring 2009, but the scheme has been plagued by delays and contractual disputes.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony will mark the official unveiling of the £116m project on Sunday.
Busway services will run seven days a week and the council anticipates that 3.5 million trips will be taken on the buses each year.
Key stops will include Trumpington, Longstanton and Addenbrookes Hospital.

According to the News bulletin just given on BBC Radio Five, the Cambridge Guided Busway is the longest driverless busway . . .

Don't you just love journalists!
