Cambridge Biomedical Campus Transport Needs Review Part 1 and Part 2 Addendum 4 February 2019 This note acts as an Addendum to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus Transport Needs Review Part 1 and Part 2 Reports. The Reports have, where possible, been updated as the Study progressed, but inevitably there have been some further changes to external factors since their substantive content was finalised. This Addendum updates this information. These updates do not change the recommendations or conclusions from the Study. The updates are presented in a sequence starting with broad policy-level updates and continuing through to more specific scheme and service updates. Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority are working in partnership with the Greater Cambridge Partnership to deliver schemes within the authority’s area, particularly in relation to Cambridge Autonomous Metro (CAM). Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire Local Plans The South Cambridgeshire Local Plan1 was adopted on 27 September 2018. The Cambridge Local Plan2 was adopted on 18 October 2018. Greater Cambridge Partnership Updates The Linton Greenway is now aligned to the Cambridge South East Transport Study Programme. The West of Cambridge Package, formerly known as the Western Orbital Scheme, consists of providing improved Park and Ride, cycling and pedestrian facilities for trips from locations west of the City. The Cambridge South West Park and Ride scheme aims to provide an extension to the existing Park and Ride at Trumpington, and to create further Park and Ride capacity, through either multi- storey parking at Trumpington or a new site to the west of M11 Junction 11. In November 2018, planning permission was granted at Trumpington Park and Ride for the extension to accommodate 274 car parking spaces (including disabled parking bays) and other supporting infrastructure. A consultation for options for delivering further Park and Ride capacity took place in late 2018. Development Timing Royal Papworth Hospital is due to relocate to the CBC site in Spring 2019, with AstraZeneca following in 2020. 1 https://www.scambs.gov.uk/media/12564/south-cambridgeshire-adopted-local-plan-270918_sml.pdf 2 https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/media/6890/local-plan-2018.pdf Bus Routing and Timetables Busway A service continues to Royston The Busway A service, which from Monday to Saturday previously ran between St Ives (and locations beyond) and Trumpington Park and Ride via CBC, now continues to Royston on an approximately hourly basis on those days. Further information including a route map and timetable can be found on Cambridgeshire County Council’s Bus Service Website.3 Stagecoach Citi 2 Routing and Timetable Amendments have been made to the Citi 2 service (excluding Sundays), with some trips diverted. The new timetable involves the first four services, between 06:41 and 07:41 (arrival times at Addenbrooke’s), and evening services between 18:41 and 22:38 (terminating at Addenbrooke’s Hospital Bus Station). Between these times, services alternate between terminating at Addenbrooke’s Hospital Bus Station or Sainsbury’s on Coldhams Lane. These amendments mean that the Citi 2 service now serves CBC every 20 minutes between 06:41 and 19:38 and every 30 minutes between 19:38 and 22:38. New Bus Route 25 Stagecoach 25 service is a new route that operates between Addenbrooke’s Hospital Bus Station and Trumpington via Clay Farm between 07:00 and 18:30 every 30 minutes, Monday to Saturday. Papworth Everard, Cambourne, CBC Bus Service A new bus service ‘H’ will start in April 2019, connecting Papworth Everard, Cambourne, Madingley Park and Ride and CBC. There will be three services inbound in the morning, starting at 05:48 from Ermine Street in Papworth, and three services outbound in the evening, starting at 17:20 from CBC. Further details can be found on the CBC website4. CUH Car Park Eligibility Criteria CUH has recently reviewed and updated its eligibility criteria in order to balance the needs of staff, patients and visitors who wish to travel by car with the fact that the site and local highway network are nearing capacity. Staff who can use alternative modes of transport, such as Park and Ride, are being advised to do so. The new criteria focus on providing access to parking for those where alternate methods are limited, such as staff who work late or early and staff who have caring or childcare commitments. This change is currently being implemented in preparation for new developments on CBC becoming occupied. Cycle Hire Schemes The market for cycle hire schemes in Cambridge continues to evolve and the range of suppliers has changed. Cycle hire is currently still available for users at CBC and throughout the City. Queen Edith’s / Fendon Way Roundabout A Dutch-style roundabout (where cyclists and pedestrians have priority over motor vehicles) will replace the current Fendon Road/Queen Edith’s Way roundabout. The tighter geometry and wide overrun strip in the centre mean drivers will need to slow right down to negotiate the new roundabout. 3 https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/residents/travel-roads-and-parking/buses/bus-timetables/ 4 https://cambridge-biomedical.com/news-and-updates/new-bus-to-bring-people-from-papworth-and- cambourne-to-the-campus/ Detailed design for the roundabout scheme is progressing and Cambridgeshire County Council anticipate that the scheme will be constructed during the summer of 2019. Lighting on Cambridgeshire Guided Busway Further street lighting has been installed on the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway. Ely North Junction The Ely North Junction rail scheme has now been integrated into the larger Ely Area Capacity Enhancement scheme which is in development. This scheme is expected to include freight headway improvements, structure and level crossing works, Ely Station track layout works and power supply works which will assist in enabling additional freight and passenger train paths to be accommodated through the Ely area, improving connectivity, capacity and journey times. Rail Timetable Changes A series of rail timetable changes came into operation from May 2018, affecting services to and from Cambridge. There were no changes to the overall range of key destinations within the Wider Study Area accessible from Cambridge Station or Cambridge North Station.
