We’re going to do a few updates about the new site over the next few days as we finalise the last bit and pieces on the run up to the event.
I’m pleased to say that our popular coach service will be running again this year. We’re operating the free shuttle service from Cambridge North train station. Rather than stick to fixed times, we’re aiming to provide a continuous service due to the shorter distance.
On Thursday coaches will run between 12.30 and 19.30. The round trip to the station and back is 60 minutes but traffic and loading will mean this will not run precisely to the hour. On Friday it will run in the same manner between 11.00 and 16.00.
On Sunday returning coaches will run from 16.00. The first two coaches to leave at the end of the event are often heavily subscribed. There is a sign-up sheet available in GOD to ensure you have a space. We understand that people will be looking to leave to catch prebooked trains and ask that you sign up for the most appropriate coach to get you there on time. You will have to take a taxi or travel on a later coach if the earlier coach is full.
Head of the coach team, Elwyn has had a meeting with the local train station manager and made arrangements for us to use a dedicated area for the Empire coaches. As you exit the train station, turn left and walk past the cycles to the rail replacement bus bay. We’ll pick people up from there (see picture).
See you soon!
