It's not going to help somewhere like Peterborough[1], which would
presumably have the same problem as Cambridge does now.

[1] Which as we all know is a unitary County.

How short of its concessionary fares spend is the grant it receives?
Not over £1 million as in Cambridge, I bet.

Since most journeys are return, the outward journey will be charged to
a district outside Cambridge and an equal amount for the return leg
charged to Cambridge.

Same for Peterborough I would have thought.

Only where boundaries are crossed, I agree. But that wasn't my question
anyway.
