Cambridgeshire Autonomous Metro

The Cambridgeshire Autonomous Metro (CAM) was a rapid transit proposal in Cambridge, United Kingdom.

[1] Proposed by Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority mayor James Palmer in 2017, it was scrapped when he lost the 2021 election to Nik Johnson, who cancelled the project.

[2] The mayor of the newly created Combined Authority made the introduction of a light rail scheme, partly running underground, a priority on his election in 2017;[3] however, the proposed system was intended to use rubber-tyred vehicles, not light rail.

[6][12] Branches would run from the core to Alconbury, St Neots (potentially interchanging with East West Rail), Trumpington, Haverhill, Mildenhall and Waterbeach.

[16] Cambridge Connect are currently in discussion with the Labour party for a £5 million grant for a feasibility study.
