This ☝️ northern busway path closure between #CambridgeUK and #Histon will of course be quite inconvenient for walkers and cyclists. Depending on where you were going, I suppose the diversion options are:
• over A14 junction 32 (~1.8x longer, and, yuck);
• Mere Way (~3.3x longer);
• or, like, via Girton...
(I dunno if the council will put any useful diversion signage in place.)
On-site signage implies the northern busway foot/cycle path under the A14 between Orchard Park in #CambridgeUK and #Histon will be closed from 1 Dec for 20 weeks* (until late April), to install safety fencing.
(This is separate fencing to that which closed unsanctioned busway crossings in Histon/Impington, already complete.)
* not the 12 weeks' closure in the council's press release (unless: that's just the busway? or path closure not needed for entire works period?) https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/news/busway-fencing-programme-continues

As well as the southern #CambridgeUK busway/path closure (☝️), the northern busway and foot/cycle path through #Histon will be closed weekday daytimes (0930-1600) from this Monday through Fri 7 Nov, again to install fencing.

Some previously usable crossing points will be permanently closed as a result (particularly affecting routes from #Girton), causing some consternation; I'm not familiar with the details, but this seems like a good guide:

#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.

Recently bumped into: #Gostak International Airport ("conlang immigration paperwork").

"Twenty players were locked in … and given half an hour to each correctly complete a landing card in a fictional language, watched over by two airport staff who spoke no English. Each player was also given airline tickets and airport brochures which were written in both English and Gost…"
(In this game, "The gostak distims the doshes" roughly translates as "Gostak welcomes tourists".)
Browsing the #NarraScope schedule; I was *not* expecting the worlds of #NoMoreJockeys and #InteractiveFiction to collide there.
