The latest press release about the Guided Bus says:

Busway contractors BAM Nuttall have advised Cambridgeshire County Council that they expect to hand over the track between St Ives and Cambridge at the end of October.

This news means that, provided BAM Nuttall achieve this date, Cambridgeshire County Council will be able to open the busway within a month of the handover once final testing and trials are complete.

A BAM Nuttall spokesman said: "Planning issues with the noise barriers at Histon are now being dealt with and all parties involved have committed themselves to deliver the northern section of the busway for this date."

The noise barriers, affecting residents in both Histon and Impington, have been a major issue for some time following input at the Public Inquiry by local expert residents and Councils alike.

In order to hit the end October date Nuttalls are seeking (from South Cambs) permission to run a small number of lorries each day to deliver materials via the Histon Station access.
