There's a snag at Elmdon: one of the bus stops one of the bus stops is listed[14] as being both the northbound and southbound stop for the 334. I'll leave the ways for now,[15] but remember that Elmdon, Hollow Road (adj) Elmdon, Hollow Road (adj) is the last stop on the timetable before Cambridge---and the route into Cambridge is unknown without an on-bus survey.
