Owing to difficulties with parked vehicles along Pacific Drive in Sovereign Harbour North, the Local 5 service will be terminating at the third roundabout and not continuing to the end of the route. This unfortunately means that the last three bus stops will not be served until further notice.

We are in consultation with the Council's Highways Team and the Sovereign Harbour developers to find a solution to this problem.

We can only apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause.

The roadworks at Stone Cross have now been completed and services 4 and 5 are now back to normal route.

The parking problems being experienced in Pacific Drive in Sovereign Harbour North have now been rectified and service 5 is now back to normal route.

We are operating the following services on Thursday 15th June.

Service 2A the 0805 journey from Seaside to the DG Hospital for Cavendish School and return in the afternoon.

Service 4 the 0800 journey from Langney Shopping Centre to the Willingdon School and return in the afternoon.

Service 5 the 0753 journey from Sovereign Harbour to the DG Hospital for Cavendish School and return in the afternoon.

Service 501 from Shinewater to Ratton School and return in the afternoon.

Service 2A from Town Centre to Willingdon and Service 3A from Shinewater to Town Centre will operate every 30 minutes from 0900 hours until 1430 hours.

Service 2 from Winkney Farm to DG Hospital will operate approximately hourly from 0830 hours until approximately 1430 hours.

This information will be updated throughout the day.

We are dismayed that despite extensive and apparently positive talks between ourselves and the TGWU last week, and the fact that our staff have been receiving the pay increase of four per cent since January the industrial action supported by only a small number of them is scheduled to go ahead on Thursday (June 15).

It is disappointing that a relatively small group are able to cause disruption to the travel plans of thousands of our customers.

We intend to operate as many buses as we can, but as we do not know how many of our staff will attend work we cannot accurately forecast which services will run. Our main priority will be to operate buses that serve schools.

Up to the minute information will be available from our website, www.eastbournebuses.co.uk or by calling 01323 416416.

The next day of industrial action has been postponed and will not happen on Tuesday 20th June. Further negotiations between Eastbourne Buses and the TGWU will take place.

Owing to increased traffic and parking in connection with the above event, particularly around the Meads area, slight delays are affecting services 2 and 3.

We can only apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause and we are doing everything we can to minimise any problems.

Due to a Road Traffic Accident at approximately 1030 hours along the Coast Road at Beachlands, Service 5 buses will not be serving Beachlands and will instead terminate at Pevensey Bay.

Sussex Police have informed us that the road is likely to remain closed for the rest of today.

We can only apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause and will resume normal service as soon as we can.
