A vehicle #fire at #Addenbrookes #hospital in a #car park #Cambridge #England involving multiple #cars has resulted in a "Make pumps 12" response involving brigades from #Cambridgeshire #Essex and #Suffolk and the total closure of the car park until further notice

Sounds like the start of the fencing works closing the #CambridgeUK southern busway path (between Long Road and the #Addenbrookes spur) has been delayed to Sunday 12 Oct. Presumably the end of the closure will be delayed too (dunno if the busway changing from completely closed to one-way running might extend the works beyond the planned 5 weeks?)

#CambridgeUK southern busway foot/cycleway closure update: there's signage between Long Road and the #Addenbrookes spur saying that bit will be closed from 6th Oct (next Monday) for 5 weeks (=> ends 9 Nov). (To fit fencing, see previous post ☝️.)
I didn't see signage on or south of the Addenbrookes spur (toward Trumpington), so I guess that bit's happening later, and that for now a diversion via say Lime Avenue would work to access the spur. Not seen any more official communication online.

Advance PSA for #CambridgeUK people: once again, the cycle/footway along the southern busway, around the #Addenbrookes spur, will be closed from 'early October' to install (more) fencing.
I haven't seen detail of timings/phasing yet, but I expect access from the north between Long Road and the #Addenbrookes spur to be closed some of the time, as well as presumably access from the south (Trumpington).

The #NHS faces many problems but I'm amazed that one of the most serious is completely unreported: The near complete lack of stickers being handed out for being a good boy/girl/something else.

In my 8 months of interactions with the otherwise amazing staff at #Addenbrookes I've been given exactly ONE sticker (shoutout to the x-ray dept). Truly shocking state of affairs. Should be a national scandal!

#CambridgeUK southern busway path (station to #Addenbrookes) was traversable end-to-end this evening!
Probably not Officially Open until Monday, but barriers have been removed (by someone) since last night, and no obvious hazards -- just two temporary fence panels, leaving no hole in the fence bigger than a badger (and those holes are clearly deliberate), so hopefully it stays open through the weekend.
(Hopefully I can stop spamming the #CambridgeUK hashtag about this now, good grief)

#CambridgeUK southern busway foot/cycle path (rail station to #Addenbrookes, see ☝️) reopening apparently delayed *again* -- county council last said it was supposed to reopen today, but e.g. Redditors report it still closed.
A closure sign on site has reportedly been changed from "7 weeks" to "9 weeks", implying it might be closed until the 15th.
(Sigh.)

#CambridgeUK southern busway foot/cycle path reopening delayed by a week, until Saturday 6 April. (Buses will start running on time.)
(This is the path between Cambridge rail station and #Addenbrookes; see ☝️ for details. If it opens on this new schedule, it'll have been closed for 8 weeks, in all.)

An awful case of medical negligence at Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge led to the death of a baby. A routine vitamin K injection would have saved his life, but it wasn't given though it was recorded as done.
