Eastbourne gears up for return of annual Classic Bus Running Day

The event, on Sunday, July 6, is a festival of classic buses and offers the chance to ride on classic buses ranging from the 1930s to 1970s.

These services run along routes that used to be operated by the former Eastbourne Corporation and Southdown bus companies.

Around 15 vehicles are expected to attend and provide regular trips including services to Beachy Head, Birling Gap and East Dean, seafront rides to Princes Park and the Sovereign Centre as well as journeys through the Sussex countryside to Bexhill, Hailsham and Pevensey Bay.

There's also a recreation of the 1970s Eastbourne ‘Town Tour’.

All buses will start from the car park adjoining Eastbourne Station between 10am and 4.30pm.
