Local campaign group Smarter Cambridge Transport claims that Cambridgeshire’s guided busway may have inherent design flaws.
The group’s review of previous reports on the scheme that were commissioned by the Cambridgeshire County Council.
Urging the council to conduct an ‘open re-evaluation of the busway’ the group stated that the busway was at a ‘high risk’ of structural failure, with estimations that repairs to the scheme could push its total cost over £200m.
Three recent serious accidents have occurred on the busway, including one in June, which have been blamed on driver error.
