[Personal note: the MGB will *increase* the time it takes the bus to get
from my village to Cambridge. If rail services were reinstated on the line I
could eliminate 80% of the road part of my commute and replace them
with rail, very possibly without altering the total travel time.]


While I don't doubt the truth of what you say for a minute, Clive *and*
while being deeply sceptical of the advantages of guided buses [1], how
does the Cambridgeshire system actually increase a particular journey?

[1] The only place I can see guided bus technology being of use is in
bus *stations*, to be honest, for ensuring flush boarding and coping
with often restricted areas.
