Looping the Loop
Eastbourne Buses has just placed eleven brand new Alexander Dennis Enviro 200s into service on the 'Loop', a circular service taking in key residential areas, shopping centres and the hospital. Most are route branded, with only discrete Stagecoach logos but these distinctive plum coloured fronts which seem to work quite well, as per 36908 (GN13 HHZ), the last of the batch. This is a busy service and whilst these buses are being trumpeted as (marginally) larger than their predecessors (DAF SB120s in the main), it is perhaps a little surprising that E300s weren't chosen both for their size and fleet standardisation as the E200 is yet another new model for Eastbourne's diverse fleet.
