Night Bus running for Bonfire-goers

Those enjoying the bonfire celebrations in Hastings can get a ride home for just £1.

The night bus is being put on to get people home from the popular event, which takes place on Saturday, 15th October.

Each year the bonfire attracts thousands of people to the town centre, with residents flocking from all over 1066 Country to enjoy the procession and fireworks.

This year though there will be an added incentive for people to join in the fun - a night bus is running from midnight until 4am.

There will be two buses running every 30 minutes, to stops all over Hastings. These will include Central St. Leonards, Sliverhill, Hollington, Ore, Bexhill Road, Malvern Way and the Ridge (near the Conquest Hospital), and all for just £1.

Chair of the Safer Hastings Partnership, and Hastings Borough Council Lead member for Community Safety, Councillor Jay Kramer said, “Following from their success in previous years we are happy to be providing night buses for our town’s busiest times of the year. Bonfire night is a great event in Hastings and we have funded transport for residents to get home quickly, cheaply and, above all, safely.”

The Safer Hastings Partnership has relaunched the night buses to cover seasonal events in our town. They will also run over the Christmas period on Friday 16th & Saturday 17th, Friday 23rd & Saturday 24th, as well as New Year’s Eve, Saturday 31st December.
