Stagecoach 1066 Bus Service

/in News/by
We have just received the following information regarding the Stagecoach 1066 bus service from Monday during works on the new level crossing in Northbridge Street.  Stagecoach will run buses as normal from the bus stops south of the new RVR level crossing on Northbridge Street (this means Heathfield Gardens/George Hill and The George/High Street bus stops). The buses will turn round at the railway station.  The bus stops at Rutley Close will be suspended while Northbridge Street is closed at the crossing.  So you will need to walk from Rutley Close to the stops in the High Street to catch a bus travelling north or south.  Stagecoach should be putting up signs on the Rutley Close bus stops and posting information on their website.
If you want information about the separate road works in Brightling Road you can find it at one network

The Government has announced its decision, subject to Parliamentary approval, to implement a modified version of the One East Sussex proposal for unitary local government for East Sussex. This means that from April 2028 Rother District, together with the four other district and borough councils in the county, plus East Sussex County Council, would be replaced with a single unitary authority.
The decision also means Brighton & Hove City Council would expand, to include the areas of East Saltdean, Peacehaven and Telscombe.
