The guided bus cuts Station Road in Histon and Impington and there’s quite a complex crossing set-up including a diagonal for cyclists. But because a green man can only be given to pedestrians crossing the busway itself when both Station Road and the busway have red lights the green man time for parents and their children walking to school has been very short.

It seems that the current owner no longer wants it so that the County Council is going through the process of compulsory purchase. It expects this to take some time and in the meantime is looking for an interim use.
