Owing to roadworks, services 21, 22, 54 and 143 cannot use part of Battle Road in Hailsham when travelling outbound from Eastbourne. These services are using the Service 53 route which is London Road, Hawks Road and Hawthylands Road then Battle Road to Harebeating Stores. The roadworks are now expected to last approximately four weeks.

Following an accident in Seaside near to The Archery at around 1600 hours, bus services using this road were caught in heavy traffic and suffered severe delays.

We apologise for any inconvienence caused by this.

Revised timetables start on Sunday 23rd February 2003. Timetable booklets are available at our Travel Office in Eastbourne Railway Station.
