Cuckmere Community Bus Ltd trading as Cuckmere Buses @CuckmereB celebrates 50 years of operation this year and has added another new @MercedesBenzUK Sprinter to the fleet. It is painted in a special livery to mark the anniversary and was photographed in Eastbourne.

Good to see members of the @METROBUS team in Eastbourne today promoting the new 24/7 service 500 between Eastbourne and Gatwick Airport via Uckfield and East Grinstead. Starts Saturday 9th May.

@MarcJF241 I would love to see it in the East Kent 'EK' livery but suspect it might end up green.

@MartinSmith_66 @amberley_museum Thanks for the information Martin. 👍 It'll be interesting to see which livery the new owners choose to repaint it into. Although for the time being, it looks good in the Mid Wales livery.

Rode yesterday on preserved Bristol VRT / ECW, UWV 622S in Mid Wales livery around @amberley_museum. This is an ex Southdown convertible that under Stagecoach ownership moved to East Kent, then Ribble & Cumberland, ending up with Express Motors, North Wales then Mid Wales Travel.

With the current controversy over where buses terminate in Mousehole following recent service changes, here’s how it used to be with former Western National Bristol LHS FDV 790V at the traditional terminus on the quayside. The banner on the railings makes the point.

@StagecoachSE @Canterbury @hythe @bossingham I think you mean # not @.

@coastliner711 More on the way.

Former Stagecoach South West 15322 in King’s Coronation livery seen at Eastbourne depot yesterday evening.

Photographed this afternoon at Beachy Head, @BrightonHoveBus 595 a @VolvoBusUK B9TL @Wright_bus Eclipse Gemini 2 in new Eastbourne Sightseeing livery.

The @StagecoachSE Thanet open top season commenced on Friday with a new livery and branding based on the current steel blue scheme. Three vehicles are required and @ADLbus Enviro 400 19135 is seen here at Dumpton Gap heading towards Ramsgate.

Good to see @CrosskeysTravel providing an Easter Saturday service on Folkestone town service 74 with ADL Enviro 400 MMC SK22 BUJ, in conjunction with @Kent_cc. The service normally runs on Mon-Fri which meant due to the Easter holiday there wouldn’t be a service for four days.

54211 is unique in the @StagecoachSW fleet, as it is the only @Plaxtoncoach Elite i @VolvoBusUK B11RT to wear the green specialist livery. Photographed at Derry’s Cross, Plymouth.

I managed to catch up with the @StagecoachSW Trident 18308 in Plymouth today.

The @ADLbus Enivro 200 MMCs used by @StagecoachSE on the Dover Fastrack service have now been made surplus by the introduction of the new electric Volvo BZLs. Newly repainted 37498 was photographed today on Folkestone town service 71A.

@alexhornbyrail Why is that man on the track?

Decidedly high floor diesel unit traction for train ride number 3 - a 40 mins ride from Bucharest to Pioleşti. 🇷🇴

Two of the five @StagecoachSE @MCVUK @VolvoBusUK BZLs for the Dover Fastrack are white without any fleet-names or branding. 66125 is seen near Dover Castle.

The new @MCVUK bodied @VolvoBusUK BZLs entered service with @StagecoachSE at Dover this week on Fastrack route D, linking Whitfield and Dover Priory Station. A shiny 66122 was photographed on the busway near the Whitfield Tesco store.

@StagecoachSE A cracking post there @StagecoachSE

#Ramsgate LOOP Due to an emergency closure of Hereson Rd in Ramsgate from direction of Broadstairs to Ramsgate, all loops in that direction only will be operating a diversion of Montefiore Avenue, Dumpton Park Drive & Victoria Road for the remainder of the evening.

@YesterdaysBrit1 Yes

@MartinSmith_66 Are you from Deal?

Thanks, but no thanks.
