About

Eastbourne Classic Bus will be holding a Classic Bus Running Day on Sunday 6th July.

This popular annual event is a festival of classic buses and offers a unique experience to ride on classic buses ranging from the 1930's – 1970's.

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 1970's Eastbourne "Town Tour".

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

The event provides a great family day out with recent years seeing over 2500 people enjoying the rides every time.

While all rides are free we do encourage you to purchase a souvenir programme/timetable. This is available for £10.00 on the day or can be ordered for £9.00 in advance from steven.wood@clara.co.uk.

The monies raised from the sale of the programmes helps to cover some of the costs required to operate these privately owned vehicles.
