You may wish to consider buying a Plusbus ticket with your train ticket (or just walk into the ticket office on arrival at Cambridge, they should sell you one on the spot if you show your incoming rail ticket - don’t put the ticket in the automatic barrier if you do this, it may retain it!). The Plusbus will be a few pounds (maybe £3-4), you’ll get unlimited transport all day and it’ll be quicker than waiting for a taxi.
A follow-up question: the Great Northern website is quoting me £60 for two off-peak return train tickets with the PlusBus pass. Is this an advance purchase fare, or will we be able to get the same fare if we wait until the day of the trip to purchase the ticket?
