Cambridge Park & Ride: All 5 Sites, Routes PR1–PR5, Buses & Guide (2026)

🅿️ Cambridge Park & Ride is the easiest way into the city by car: five car parks on the ring of approach roads, each with a frequent Stagecoach bus straight to the city centre. All five routes are run by Stagecoach East and are listed on bustimes under the Cambridge network.

🚍 The Five Sites & Their Routes

• PR1 — Madingley Road (west, from the A428/M11 side): city centre ↔ Madingley Road Park & Ride.
• PR2 — Newmarket Road (east, Stetchworth side): city centre ↔ Newmarket Road Park & Ride — plus PR2F, the Newmarket Road P&R ↔ Ditton Walk link.
• PR3 — Trumpington (south, from the A10/M11): city centre ↔ Trumpington Park & Ride. Trumpington is also the southern terminus of Guided Busway A.
• PR4 — Babraham Road (south-east, from the A1307): city centre ↔ Babraham Road Park & Ride — handy for Addenbrooke’s Hospital.
• PR5 — Milton (north, from the A10/A14): city centre ↔ Milton Park & Ride.
• T2 — the cross-town link between Madingley Road P&R and Newmarket Road P&R.

🎫 Tickets & Fares

• Park & Ride buses are ordinary Stagecoach services for fares: singles are covered by the England fare cap — see the fare cap guide (£3 now, £2 from January 2027).
• Stagecoach sells P&R and city day tickets on the bus and in its app; the PlusBus rail add-on also covers Cambridge city buses if you arrive by train instead.
• Pay by contactless, app or cash. Parking arrangements are set by the site operators — check the Cambridge Park & Ride signage/app for current parking charges before you travel, as these change separately from bus fares.
