📖 About Route 25

The 25 covers the hours the 24 doesn’t: early-morning, late-evening and some peak journeys from Queensgate (Bay 15) via Rivergate, Woodston, Botolph Green and Orton Waterville straight to Alwalton Hill (Amazon DPE2 / Peterborough Gateway).

Unlike the 23 and 24, the 25 does not serve Lynch Wood — it is the shift-times bus for the Alwalton Hill employment area, with a small number of journeys timed around the working day.
