This one is a little less straightforward.
Peterborough area – citi3 (Bretton – Whittlesey/Yaxley) now every 10 minutes from Bretton to Stanground and Park Farm, citi4 (Parnwell – City) and citi5 (Bluebell – City) are rerouted in Dogsthorpe, and citi6 (Hampton – City) runs further into Hampton, but is diverted away from Peterborough train station forecourt (except in the morning peak) because of reliability issues when any problems occur around the station. The section of citi3 to Yaxley will be replaced by a new citi7 from Yaxley via Peterborough to Eye, providing a 20 minute service throughout, and a substantial increase to the latter. Whittlesey – see Fens services (below). Additionally, services renumbered are 12 (Market Deeping – Peterborough) becomes 22, 13/13A (Oundle – Peterborough) becomes 23/23A, 14 (Orton Southgate – City Centre) becomes 24A, X14 (Thrapston/Southwick – Peterborough) becomes 24, 15 (Oundle – Peterborough) becomes 25, and… 16 (Huntingdon – Peterborough) goes back to being a 46… which is still marked on the bus stop bays at Huntingdon. Speaking of which…
Cambridge, Fens & Huntingdon Areas – Following the assumption of the Huntingdon & District and Cavalier Travel networks by Stagecoach, a revised network will be operated. However, Stagecoach is currently having to comply with OFT regulations in regards to no further integration of the businesses… although, these changes were allowed, as they predate the agreement. Some services appear to replace others, but not exactly, so it is not known whether or not Cambs CC will be arranging replacements for any overlooked areas. Anyway… taken from this page (I've added some comments/thoughts in italics)… some changes are still being fine-tuned…
