It's more complicated than I thought! The P&R bus still goes direct[as 
does the #9 now] (missing Cambridge North), then during the day there's 
an hourly #2 which loops round the village, and visits Cambridge North.

The main loss of service is trips like #9 A10 corridor from the north, 
to anywhere in Milton.
