Improvements to Services
We are pleased to announce the following changes to services that are being introduced as a result of requests from our passengers.
Link to Doctors Surgery The route of this service through Shinewater will be changed to run via Milfoil Drive rather than Larkspur Drive. This is to serve the Doctor's surgery in Milfoil Drive. Two journeys on weekdays will still serve Causeway School, arriving at the school from Hampden Park at 0822 and departing at 1526.
Later bus to and from Tunbridge Wells The 1805 journey from Eastbourne to Heathfield is being extended to Tunbridge Wells to arrive at 1935. An extra journey from Tunbridge Wells to Eastbourne will leave Tunbridge Wells at 1940, following the normal route, arriving at Eastbourne at 2105. The extra buses on this service are operated with financial support from East Sussex County Council. |

Diversion Services 3 / 3A and 10 / 10A - Marsden Farm
Owing to Roadworks in Netherfield Avenue starting on Monday 26th April Services 3 / 3A and 10 / 10A will not be able to use this road. These services will instead be diverted so when travelling from Town the route will be up to the Harbour North Roundabout then back along Pevensey Bay Road by ASDA to the Langney Roundabout, Langney Rise then left along Priory Road by Bishop Bell School and then back to normal route. The same diversion will apply when travelling in the opposite direction. These roadworks are expected to last approximately two weeks but as soon as they are finished the Services will return to their normal route. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that may be caused. |

Major Delays to Services
Owing to road resurfacing along Eastbourne Seafront severe traffic congestion caused delays to all Bus Services travelling along Seaside and St Anthonys Avenue. These roadworks are expected to last for the next four days so further delays are expected. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that may be caused and we will do everything we can to keep disruption to a minimum. |
