I think it's on www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk somewhere.
Found it; many thanks, Colin.

It's at:

That's it. From Science Park to just beyond Swavesey is an existing rail
line (though mothballed; the track is still there). The rest of the way
to St.Ives is trackbed but no track. The "local service" in Longstanton
appears to be a new route; it's unclear whether this is on an existing
road (in which case, what happens to the cars?) or takes over new land
and, if so, how it gets through the houses.

From Station to Trumpington is existing trackbed that's been disused for
30 years or more. The "on-street section" to Addenbrookes Hospital uses
a non-existent street (so why is it not guideway as well?).

The on-street section connecting the two uses roads that are either
already full of traffic, or narrow, or both. The cam.transport
contingent are, um, skeptical about their ability to carry the traffic.

You should also look at:

I suppose I should add the MGB to it.
