MANEA MATTERS
Getting About

Trains

Trains run from Manea to both Ely and Peterborough (opposite platforms – clearly signposted),
from where connections can be boarded for other destinations. However, due to ongoing strikes
and the resultant disruption, it is impossible for accurate timetables to be announced three
months in advance. So, rather than print inaccurate information, we continue to suggest you check
the National Rail Network website or pick up a timetable from March station - thank you. There
may also be some in the Waiting Shed at Manea station.

Community Car Scheme
Manea Community Car Scheme is operated under the umbrella of the County Council and uses
volunteer drivers. If you need to make a journey and do not have the use of a car, or are not fit
enough to access public transport, the scheme may be able to help. Journeys need to be booked in
advance and are charged at 30p per mile, with a minimum charge of £3.00.
To book or for more information please phone Phil Coulridge between 9:00am and 5:00pm on
07944 814156. If there is no reply please leave a message and your call will be returned.
