Travelling to Cambridge If you are coming into central Cambridge by car, please allow plenty of time to cope with the heavy Saturday traffic. The last train from Cambridge to London on Saturday night leaves at 2310. First Capital Connect offers ‘Group Save 3 and 4’ tickets, by which three or four adults can travel off peak for the price of two. These tickets can be purchased at the station or online but the group of three or four must travel together at all times for the tickets to be valid. There is also a group discount for ten or more passengers (see www.firstcapitalconnect.co.uk). The Citi 1, Citi 3, Citi 7 and 007 bus services will take you from the train station into the city centre.
