Brighton & Hove Bus Company’s number 12 route from Brighton to Newhaven and Eastbourne via Seven Sisters has been ranked second in SunLife’s list of ‘the top 10 most scenic bus routes in the UK’.

Reverend Richard Coles tweeted last year: “The number twelve from Eastbourne to Brighton is without any wisp of a doubt the best bus IN THE WORLD.”

Research was carried out by analysing Instagram hashtags of 40 different bus routes throughout the country by insurance company SunLife. The highest rated was the Coastliner 840 from Leeds and York to Whitby.

A SunLife spokesperson said: “This route provides breathtaking views of the coastal scenery, including the famous Seven Sisters cliffs. The bus runs every day, every 10 minutes throughout the entire year.”
