Has anyone heard a rumour that Stagecoach are buying Eastbourne Buses? If so, can someone let us know? Also, if true, it would fit in nicely with their Stagecoach South operation.

Only i cannot find any such news items regarding the sale of Eastbourne Buses (which is one of the uk's last Municipal bus operations) to stagecoach group. |

Also it was reported by a bus driver who said the news is posted on the noticeboard at his garage. |

Seems that it is almost a done deal with Stagecoach. ;D Had it occured to you that the reason Stagecoach wish to buy Eastbourne Buses is to enhance the existing allegedly inadequate services they currently provide, and this will give them the base from which to improve them?  |

possibly. Stagecoach do have a couple of routes in the area, 2 from the hastings 'silverhill' depot, routes 98 and 99 from memory, but this was some years ago, may have different numbers now. I know this as my parents have a caravan just outside hastings and up until a few years back i used to go down there quite a few times a year!
Now i just about manage 1 weekend a year!! lol
