Compass Bus: LJ05GLV
Compass Bus' DAF DB250/Wright Eclipse Gemini LJ05 GLV, which carries the company's corporate livery, is pictured here on North Street, Brighton, whilst working Brighton & Hove's 7X service to Brighton Station. 02/08/16
Previously with Arriva London South as fleet number DW133.
The summer of 2016 saw the introduction of a new limited-stop variant of service 7. The service, numbered 7X, provides a faster, more scenic link from Brighton Marina to Brighton Station. It runs at a 20-minute frequency along the seafront via Marine Parade stopping only at Paston Place (forCounty Hospital), then non-stop to the Sea Life Centre, Old Steine and North Street.
Due to staff shortages, Brighton & Hove worked closely with other local operators to support specific services. The company sub-contracted this service out to Compass Bus, using a pair of VDL DB250/Wright Eclipse Gemini vehicles recently acquired by the company, from Arriva London South.
In addition to this, Brighton & Hove also sub-contracted its 77 service out to Seaford & District. Closed-top double-deck vehicles were allocated on weekdays, and open-top / heritage vehicles were allocated on weekends.
