a jolly good laugh between themselves over a nice drink in the pub, ...

But first they have to decide which pub.

I'd suggest Cambridge Blue, but they probably have their own,
conflicting, opinions.

Cutter Inn. All welcome, someone just has to name the day.

A10 Milton Road just south of the science park in Cambridge!

You couldn't make this up - especially as ColinR was saying only last
weekend that his wife refuses to use the Ely - Cambridge RRP because last
time she did, the bus got lost.

I was on a Lincoln to Nottingham late night RR service a few years back, it
must look different in the dark because I found myself having to direct the
driver - it was obvious he didn't know the roads as he'd come to a junction
and hesitate before choosing the most likely option. I wouldn't have taken a
54 seater coach down some of the roads he was using, and much manoevering
was often needed on especially tight corners.

Colin? Rosenstiel? As in "ambulance"?

He's having you on. There is a low underbridge on the closed St Ives line
that is intended shortly to become an extension of the guided busway to
Cambridge Science Park station. The roadway below is only open to cycles.

Not too easy in Anglia, that one! Are there any roads that go under
railways in Anglia?

Of course there are. There's a very low one next to Chelmsford station,
for example.

Most of them are underpasses at level crossings, which are a bit
obvious when it comes to height restrictions (or so we think - bashes
are frequent).

Barnwell Road and Coldhams Lane in Cambridge near the Sainsburys
roundabout. The Coldhams Lane one feels quite low, though maybe because
it's very skewed.

The original thread arose from Rail Replacement Buses between Peterborough
and Cambridge, so more West Anglia than Anglia.

There are several cases of roads that go under OLD railway bridges, where
the track has been lifted.

Some friends and I once came out of the gates on the right here[1] to
find a large tourist coach beginning to back up this road after
realising it wasn't going to fit underneath the arch. We had to yell at
the driver because he clearly hadn't spotted the small hatchback
immediately behind him.

it operated as a garden centre and had a small shop/tea room.
