The route in Newmarket has changed so that all buses will now run to the Railway Station. The route via Exning Road, the Hospital, Studlands Park and Tesco has been discontinued (as is the route via Freckenham). Freckenham (and West Row) are now served by service 17 which runs from Mildenhall to Bury St Edmunds via Worlington, Freckenham, Red Lodge, Herringswell, Tuddenham, Cavenham and Risby two or three times a day. A few months ago National Express changed the timetable and route of their Norwich - Thetford - Mildenhall - Newmarket - Stansted - Heathrow - Gatwick service which now calls at Cambridge. As a result Mildenhall is once again connected by a direct service into Cambridge operating approximately every two hours. http://www.nationalexpress.com/assets/uploads/pdf/timetables/727.pdf DS - 1 September 2013 .
