Sausage Scandal

An all-vegan formal at Trinity College last weekend took an unexpected turn when one student arrived prepared with an entire pack of cocktail sausages.

U-Bus to the Future

Students haunted by the memory of standing at a freezing bus stop, waiting desperately for a bus that would never arrive have been offered the perfect outlet for their frustration.

Until 20 November, students can voice their loathing for the Cambridgeshire bus system on the CPCA website. According to the CPCA, franchising could make the Cambridge bus system more reliable, greener and cheaper by 2027.
