I've said it many times before. A shuttle from P&R to the Abbey on a loop. Drop off at the Abbey,turn right into Ditton Walk through a bus gate where it's blocked off to normal traffic, along Wadloes Road, turn left at the roundabout and back to the P&R. Coldham Lane loop would be better. Ditton Walk is a narrow road with lots of cars parked, would cause traffic chaos trying to drive buses down there before and after a game. Surely that would take too long and add to the congestion already on those roads? Maybe a parking ban on Ditton Walk and Wadloes Road (at least on one side of the road) would work? Smaller shuttle buses, and frequent wouldn't be a problem I wouldn't have thought. Either way, this P&R shuttle has to be exploited.

The railway bridge allows for a U turn and the opportunity to park up busses.

Picking up in Teversham and Cherry Hinton? Turns into Coldham's Common where the buses for the folk festival camping turn around, on Barnwell Road, and then back to Newmarket Road park and ride, via Coldham's Lane, Cherry Hinton High Street and Airport Way again. Not much nearer to walk?

The council will have the traffic in their sights soon - will be parking restrictions incoming - probably linked to the Newmarket Road upgrades which are coming 25/26.

I know the stadium renovation and delays have been a constant theme over the last 30 years (Colin Davies still owes me a brick I purchased in 2001!), but at least this time any frustration can be tempered by the fact we now have owners who generally do what they say they will do. It might take time, but we get there.
We were promised a brand new, modern training ground. We got one. We were promised ownership of the Abbey. We got it.
The redevelopment will happen. The Santiago Barnwellbau will be here. It's just a complex issue and will need time.

FFS - I am going to be dead before we get to have a gander of what it is going to look like - let alone see it done!

Sadly, these projects are rarely straight-forward. As much as there is a technical design process to go through, there are also politics to navigate, and also the thorny issue of working out how to make a scheme viable financially. I suspect the club are working with their team as fast as they can, but also taking the (sensible) decision to do a lot of ground work behind the scenes before showing anything in public, in part to manage expectations. No point showing people a scheme they can't afford, for example.

I think they're also painfully aware of how many false dawns we've had. Better to delay the big news until there's something concrete to give us than to go down as another board of forgotten promises.
