Caroline Ansell, MP for Eastbourne and Huw Merriman, MP for the Bexhill and Battle constituency recently joined a special heritage bus service.
The Pevensey Explorer 197 bus service offers an exciting day out for local residents and tourists alike connecting Eastbourne town with Pevensey village stopping at local attractions and venues along the route. The bus service uses classic vehicles, which will attract vehicle enthusiasts as well as day and staying tourists as well as Sussex residents.
Huw said “It was great fun to join this open top bus service with my MP neighbour and colleague Caroline Ansell. It’s a real tourism attraction for the town and local villages offering the opportunity to explore the beautiful village of Pevensey with its many significant and historic attractions as well as stopping off at the equally lovely villages of Stone Cross, Westham and Pevensey Bay and Eastbourne town. It’s a great day out for local families as well as those visiting out beautiful part of East Sussex and a real must for heritage vehicle fans.”
Caroline said "Sitting alongside friend and neighbour Huw Merriman MP I saw beautiful Eastbourne from a whole new vantage point – atop one of Seven Sisters Bus & Coach's classic vintage vehicles, the new scenic loop route, brought us into town from Pevensey Castle and to our Pier. Travelling along the seafront with my new aerial view, I had a new appreciation of all the seafront offers and its untapped potential. This new service is a wonderful addition to our tourism offering for visitors and locals alike."
Jayne Howard of Pevensey Parish Council added “Pevensey Parish Council are pleased to support the Pevensey Explorer service which offers an opportunity for tourists and residents alike to travel between the two resorts of Eastbourne and Pevensey and enjoy all they have to offer, including Stone Cross Windmill, The Mint House, Pevensey Gaol and Pevensey Castle”.
