The route will be free for everyone to use in its first two weeks
A Cambridgeshire city is set to get a new bus service which will be free for its first two weeks. From Monday, June 29, the new Peterborough 26/26A service will begin operation, linking Queensgate to Longthorpe, Serpentine Green, Great Haddon, Yaxley, Farcet and Fletton.
Buses will be operating hourly in both directions, with 26 travelling clockwise and 26A anticlockwise. On Saturdays, buses will operate between Yaxley and Peterborough via Great Haddon, Serpentine Green and Longthorpe only.
Central Connect, who will be operating the new service, have said that fares for this route will remain below the national fare cap, with fares to and from Peterborough Centre costing £2.80. Discounts are also available to anyone buying day or season passes.
For journeys around the loop that don’t start or finish at Queensgate or Rivergate, an Orbital Single will cost £2. For the first two weeks, 26 and 26A will operate completely free to everyone as an introductory offer.
