	<p>
    Following a significant fire on 13th December, one of Addenbrooke's Hospital main car parks is currently closed while assessments are carried out
  </p>

  <p>
    To help manage demand, visitors are encouraged to use all available Park & Ride car parks where possible.
  </p>

  <p>
    If you are able to, please avoid Babraham Road and Trumpington Park & Ride car parks for the time being and consider using alternative sites such as:
  </p>

  <ul>
    <li>Madingley Road Park & Ride</li>
    <li>Milton Park & Ride</li>
    <li>Newmarket Road Park & Ride</li>
  </ul>

  <p>
    We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as required.

    <title>Changes to our fares from 17 September 2023</title>
    <link>https://cambridgeparkandride.info/whatson.shtml#fares</link>

          <![CDATA[
		<p>	We're making changes to our fares on Sunday 17th September 2023.</p>
<p>Sorry, we’ve done our best to hold back fare increases but the time has come to adjust them. The first objective of fares is to cover the costs of service provision and while the majority of this fare increase is down to rising cost, we’ve also been making important investments to give you an even better experience when travelling on our network. The new ticket prices will add on average just 43p onto the cost of daily adult bus travel in the Town zone. From Sunday 17th September 2023, we will continue to offer the same ticket types, but at slightly different prices.</p>

<p><a href="https://tiscon-maps-stagecoachbus.s3.amazonaws.com/Miscellaneous/East/CustomerFareGuideBooklet-SEP23.pdf">Check our handy guide for an overview of the new fares </a></p>

<p>Don't forget that all single fares are £2 or less across our Eastern network until 31st October 2023 (excluding the X12 and Cambridge Sightseeing Tour)- this means that the majority of customers will not be impacted by the fare changes whilst this £2 fare cap scheme is in operation.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ram-katha-cambridge-2023-tickets-641604435137">Ram Katha Event</a> takes place in Jesus College between 12th &amp; 20th August.  Whilst extra services are being put on for the event, there will be added pressure on parking spaces within Madingley Park &amp; Ride in particular.  Therefore please take this into account before travel and perhaps use one of the other 4 sites between these dates to avoid any possible inconvenience.</p>

    <title>New East Bus Network</title>
    <link>https://cambridgeparkandride.info/whatson.shtml#30octchanges</link>

    <description>
          <![CDATA[
			<p>On Sunday 30th October 2022, we will be introducing a new, sustainable bus network to the communities of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough to reflect post-pandemic travel patterns.</p>
            <p>Bus use in the UK has only partially recovered since the pandemic. Local bus operators, including Stagecoach, have been working to re-base local bus networks to take account of changes in people’s travel habits, lower passenger numbers, rising costs and labour challenges. This will ensure we can provide a sustainable network that we hope can grow over the longer-term.</p>

    <title>URGENT: Confirmed travel disruption due to adverse weather- 18th February 2022</title>
    <link>https://cambridgeparkandride.info/whatson.shtml#weatheralert</link>

          <![CDATA[
        <p>The Met Office has issued Cambridge, Huntingdon and Oxford with a 'Red Weather Warning' between 10:00 and 15:00 today as high winds from Storm Eunice are expected to impact the region.</p>
        <P>The safety of our passengers, staff and other road users is our top priority and so we will be temporarily suspending all of our Cambridge and Busway services, as well as those which travel into the affected regions, which include routes: 905, X5, 99 and 904. These services are planned to resume after 15:00 and this will prioritise journeys from the City, out to surrounding areas.</P>
        <p>As Bedford and Peterborough remain in the Amber Warning zones, we will continue to run our remaining services throughout the day where possible, prioritising single deck vehicles on the more rural routes.</p>
        <p>Our teams are working hard to maintain service levels where possible but there may be some further travel disruption as the situation evolves and so we apologise for any inconvenience caused.</p>
        <p>We ask that our passengers please take care when travelling, plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys. Download the Stagecoach Bus App for live bus tracking and to plan your journey. </p>
