Stagecoach said the 33 route between March and Peterborough was
due to be shortened on 31 August, external due to “extremely low passenger numbers”, and would start and finish in Whittlesey instead.
Paul Bristow, the Conservative mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough’s Combined Authority, external, said talks on the changes were “ongoing”, with “potential options available” to keep March connected.
