Flying Legends Duxford - Shuttle Bus Pt. 3

Flying Legends Airshow Shuttle Bus - Part 3 of 4  - The Flying Legends Airshow is on Saturday and Sunday, and an airshow shuttle bus is provided from the Cambridge train station. We caught the first bus out at  8:30am, we were at the pickup location at 8:15am and there was a small lineup but we got on the 1st bus out to Flying Legends Duxford.

This the info on the shuttle bus via the Flying Legends web page.  "There is a free shuttle bus to IWM Duxford from Cambridge Rail Station via Trumpington Road - Park & Ride on Air Show Days only. A member of staff wearing IWM uniform will be able to direct you from the front of the station. The first bus is at 8.30am and there is a bus every 20-30 minutes until 1.30pm. There is a return service which starts at 3.00pm every 20 minutes up until 6.30pm although please check this information on the day."

Note that the pick up location may change as show on this from the Aviation Forum web site : "in many previous years I have used the shuttle bus from Cambridge Railway Station straight to Duxford for "Flying Legends" - always lots of punters queueing up. LAST year, I turned up at the usual place and time (8 am), only to find NO bus, and NO queue. Ended up having to share a taxi with a Dutch gentleman, who was also looking for the bus (the local plod having no clue).

Can anyone offer any idea as to a). Was there a change of arrangements last year, which I missed? and b). Will the shuttle bus run this year?  .... You are aware that the place that buses from the station leave from has moved around the corner and down the road some distance, since the redevelopment of the area? You might have been waiting in the wrong place last year. If in doubt, go to the Crown Plaza hotel ( a short walk), which is another stop the shuttle bus makes. Matt (Cambridge resident) ".

The airshow shuttle bus drops you off and pick you up at the front door of the IWM (Imperial War Museum). After the airshow ended we promptly walked to the pickup point. By the time we had got to that spot, there had to be over a hundred people in the queue with shuttle buses already loading. Expect a wait and have an alternate plan (like the train) should you miss the last shuttle bus to Cambridge.

We've made it, next few posts will talk on the FLying Legends Airshow and the IWM museum.
