The A14/A1(M) Route
Leaving Cambridge, the A14 heads northwest past Huntingdon before joining the A1(M) for the final leg into Peterborough.
It's a fast dual-carriageway and motorway route with no major towns to slow things down.
The A14 around Huntingdon can back up during roadworks or at rush hour, so we build a small buffer into the schedule on busier days.
