Plans for a guided busway in Cambridgeshire met with local opposition, with campaigns such as CAST.IRON advocating the re-opening of the Cambridge to St Ives railway line however in December 2005 the scheme was approved and funding was confirmed late in June 2006. Construction will begin in January 2007 and the County Council say that the service "will start to carry passengers in late 2008".In Mannheim, Germany from May 1992 to September 2005 a guided busway shared the tram alignment for a few hundred meters, which allowed buses to avoid a congested stretch of road in a location where there was no space for an extra traffic lane. It was discontinued as the majority of buses fitted with guide wheels were withdrawn for age reasons. There are no plans to convert newer buses.
