Magdalen Road delays (Pink/Orange)

Due to the traffic displaced by a road closure on Waterloo Road, we are experiencing higher than normal levels of congestion around Magdalen Road/Anglia Square. This road closure/scheme will be in place until mid-March, however we are hoping for less congestion after Christmas.

Our Pink & Orange Line services are most impacted by this, with services around peak times operating up to 20 minutes behind schedule.

Download our app to live track your bus, for the most up-to-date travel information during these unpredictable delays.

Our operations team will continue trying to mitigate the delays caused by these works, and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Guidance on CPCA Tiger ticket validity

Please be reminded that CPCA Tiger U16/16+ tickets are only valid for travel *from* stops within CPCA. These fare stages are Peterborough, Thorney, Thorney Toll, Guyhirn & Wisbech.

This means that we can sell a discounted ticket from Peterborough to Kings Lynn - but we cannot sell a discounted ticket from Kings Lynn to Peterborough, as Kings Lynn is not within the CPCA area. Our drivers will not be able to offer you this ticket, and you will need to purchase a regular Adult/Young Person Single to complete your journey.

If you have any specific queries on ticket validity, please contact our Customer Services team who will be able to advise.
