A statement from Cambridgeshire County Council regarding the Guided Busway and the Health and Safety Executive investigation:

“We can confirm the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has indicated they plan to start legal proceedings against the County Council, following their investigation.

“We continue to extend our sincerest condolences to the families and friends of Jennifer Taylor, Stephen Moir and Kathleen Pitts.

“Safety on the busway is and remains a priority for the County Council and the operators that use the busway. Since its opening in 2011, the Guided Busway has seen 33 million passenger journeys, the number of bus services has more than doubled, and during that time the council has worked with experts and made regular safety enhancements.

“There is a great deal of information to consider and for legal reasons it would not be appropriate to comment further in light of the decision taken by the HSE.”
