'Having to avoid the area' - Bus diversions in Bexhill due to police incident

A police incident meant buses had to divert in Bexhill.

Stagecoach South East reported an ongoing situation, just after 4.20pm, on Saturday (March 14).

“Due to a RTC (road traffic collision) in Lunsford’s Cross, our 53 service is currently experiencing disruption and is unable to serve the section between Bexhill and Herstmonceux,” the post on X (formerly Twitter) read.

"Buses will return to normal route as soon as the road is clear.”

"This will affect out 53 and 95 services. Out 98s will still serve Sidley from Bexhill.”

Sussex Police has been approached for more information about this incident.
