Table A5: New Services in line with BSIP priorities
|
New Gatwick Airport Service |
|
Introduction of a new Service 500 between Gatwick Airport, Crawley Manor Business Park, East Grinstead, Uckfield, Forest Row, Uckfield, Hailsham, Polegate and Eastbourne. This is a joint project led by Gatwick Airport and Brighton & Hove Buses, in partnership with WSCC and ESCC. New service 500 will replace existing services 54 and 261 between Eastbourne and Uckfield, and Uckfield and East Grinstead. It will follow the same route as these services but omit the 54 route section in Manor Park, Uckfield. 500 will run on 7 days a week, from very early in the morning until very late at night, to cater for shift workers and air travellers. Gatwick Airport and WSCC will also be providing funding for this significantly enhanced service. |
|
|
|
New Night bus services to/from Brighton |
|
Brighton & Hove Buses require modest levels of funding for the introduction of hourly Night bus services running throughout the night, on 7 days a week. These will run between: · Eastbourne, Seaford, · Newhaven and Brighton; · North Peacehaven and Brighton, and · Lewes, The Universities and Brighton |
|
Brighton & Hove Buses expect the services to run fully commercially in subsequent years. |
