From Monday 4th September service 3A will no longer operate.

Alternative facilities are available on Services 1, 2, 3 and 5.

With immediate effect, the B2100 will be closed at Catt’s Hill until further notice. During this period, Eastbourne Buses service 52 will not be able to operate via its normal route between Mayfield (Bicycle Arms), Rotherfield Village and Mark Cross. Most journeys will be diverted in both directions to operate directly via the A267 between Mayfield (Bicycle Arms PH) and Mark Cross.

However the following journeys which convey schoolchildren will undertake a double run between the Bicycle Arms and Rotherfield Village, operating in both directions via B2101, Rotherfield South Street and High Street.

0751 Rotherfield to Tunbridge Wells

1639 Rotherfield to Hailsham
1644 Rotherfield to Eastbourne

East Sussex County Council have arranged for a shuttle bus service to operate between the Rotherfield Station Road, High Street, South Street and Mark Cross (Mark Cross Hotel), where it will connect with service 52 journeys to and from Eastbourne or Tunbridge Wells.

Sussex Police have agreed that buses can use Catts Hill again. From Thursday 7th September, Service 52 will return to normal route through Rotherfield.

Delays to Service 5 are being experienced due to roadworks at Stone Cross and road resurfacing at Coast Road, Beachlands.

We will do everything we can to minimise any disruption but delays may occur particularly at peak times.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by these works.

As a mark of respect for our former colleague and friend, Roy Trundell, and his family, Eastbourne Buses will be observing a two-minute silence on Monday 18th September at 3.15pm.

Bus Drivers will stop their bus in a safe location on route and we kindly request that passengers respect the company’s wishes by showing understanding, and allowing Mr Trundell’s colleagues to pay their last respects to his memory by observing this silence.

The Bus Stop at Polegate Cross Road on the A2270 heading out of town will be closed for approximately two weeks from Monday 25th September to allow for maintenance to the Traffic Lights.

This will affect Route 52 to Hailsham, Heathfield and Tunbridge Wells and a temporary stop will be sited before this existing stop.

Please note that the timetables for Routes 1/1A, 2/2A and 3 dated to end on 23rd September will continue unchanged until further notice.

Service 3A no longer operates.
