Central government has pledged to improve bus services in the interests of better connectivity. About time. The idea is to work with local councils and bus operators to achieve this using funds from central government. Locally two proposals stand out.
The first proposal is for a dedicated bus service between Lewes and Uckfield railway stations to connect with Uckfield rail services. This is far cheaper then re-opening the railway line between these two places.
The other proposal is for an hourly express bus service between Tunbridge Wells and Brighton stopping only at Crowborough, Uckfield bus station, Lewes, Falmer and Brighton.
