It seems that if you want to get onto the cycleway next to the guided bus you need to be on the pavement cycleway here. The cyclelane it seems is for straight on only as the no entry signs exclude only guided buses.
The Public Bridleway sign here points along the Busway maintenance track to... St. Ives 11 (miles) and Impingham (ooops ... should be Impington) 1

Buttons to control the pegasus crossing (behind the camera) and a chicane big enough to accommodate a horse, but still unnecessarily and annoyingly narrow. I don't expect it will last long.
This is the guideway of the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway, showing the concrete channel which cyclists will have to lift their cycle in to or over.

At Station Road, new construction, only guided buses to be allowed to proceed across the bypass road to the park and ride site and on towards Cambridge. A car trap to be installed. Cycles apparently to join the footway here, to cross the by ... [more]
On the cycleway alongside the guided busway at Orchard Park, there are no visible lights for cyclists and pedestrians at road crossings - just the small signs on the nearside columns.
The guided busway surface is only really for mountain bikes at the moment west of Histon (here between noise barriers)
