A ride i thought was worth Blogging about. Service 12 Brighton - Eastbourne every 20 mins ...
So its a Lovley summers day in Febuary.... well not summer so i Bored service 5a at the Ridgeside Avenue stop heading North bound. I ask for a SuperSaver and the Driver puzzledley replyed "SuperSaver!?" i say "Yes" he Says "£4.00 please" I plonk a £5 pound note and he gives me £1 change i observe he is 1 minute late due to my 'odd' request so we trot on on the 5a .. Speeding along London road at cruising pace making good time untill we get to my stop .. Churchill Square - bus enthusiast's paradise buses coming every few mins all of diffrent makes and models and Build years new and old , what more could you want? so i trot over from Stop B to Stop E there is a 12a going off to Seaford Wow i think to myself! anyway i obvserve that the service 12 to eastbourne is 12 mins i walk over to the somewhat lonley stop E and sit down observing the diffrent buses and people. .. 12 mins passed and there was a Shiny new route 12 livery Ominidekka on the service well it looked new anyway i was first in the rush to get up to the front seats and sat to the far left on the Bus i could hear the Drivers heaters blasting what would seem to be cold air out. Anyway departing from Churchill Square and getting onto the main Brighton seafront from Marine gate to Ovingdean he pelts it straight down the two lane Carridge way i think wow i'd do that anyday if somedrivers wernt that scared! Whizzing past various suburbs - Rottingdean , Saltdean untill we reach Peacehaven or Telscombe Cliffs home the the 14 /14c 92's / 116's / Belting it straight through Peacehaven to Newhaven at the speed the driver was doing he must have been at least 7 mins early! going into the Center of newhaven the traffic has to go around a one way divertion untill the driver hits Newhaven Middleway i think there is a real time board there that said 12 Eastbourne 6 Mins 6 mins early.. and all because the driver wanted the toilet! Ha. So the Driver gets out of his cab takes the Cashtray with him and pops off for about 4 mins then when he gets back in the cab he Turns the engine on wait for it... ** BEEP ** engine **start** Beautifull the charging of the Air in the doors as i beleive then on the return trip the bus went into Overide gear to help it get up a hill! Lovley stuff!
