📖 About Route 33

The 33 runs from Peterborough City Hospital (Bretton Gate) through Queensgate Bus Station (Bay 6), Rivergate, Fletton and Stanground to Whittlesey, ending at Roman Close — about hourly through the day, Monday to Saturday, with first and last buses running from early morning to late evening.

Older guides (and the registration title) describe the 33 as a Peterborough–March service: that changed with the 22 February 2026 timetable, when the March extension was withdrawn and the service was cut back to Whittlesey. For March, change at Whittlesey for the X32 or 46. There is no Sunday service.

🎟️ Fares & Payment

Single fares are capped at £3 under the England national fare cap (confirmed to run until March 2027), so no single journey on this service costs more than £3. Contactless payment is accepted by the operators on this corridor; operator day and period tickets may be cheaper for return or multi-bus days, and PlusBus rail add-ons are valid in the Peterborough and Cambridge PlusBus zones.
