As I remember it the Guided Busway was pushed upon us by John Prescott in return for a bribe of upgrading the A14 which of course was withdrawn even to the extent of cancelling the safety work at various slip roads. Out of interest parts of the old timber bridge over the Ouse at St Ives can still be seen as they can at Owl Creek. The rail crossing at the viaduct out of St Ives can be seen as a difference in the brickwork. Parts of the old line West of Huntingdon can still be traced including a station near Kimbolton that looks like a station and possibly has a short length of track but I did not really see it clearly as we passed just befor Christmas.
One interesting thing about the whole disaster is that there was a survey done on the track which indicated that it was possible to reinstate it and track clearing train had been arranged but suddely it was cancelled and the report was that it was not possible was published, soon after the guided bus came along. Gets even better when the 'inventor' of the system said it was not suitable for this application but of course nobody took any notice as the thing had already been decided down in london.
Not saying which system I prefer in case the Busway Police come a calling.
