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 the possibility
of further strike action and the resultant disruption, it is impossible for accurate timetables to
be announced three months in advance. So 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.
