Brand-new route between Eastbourne and Gatwick Airport

Sat 9th May onwards

New 24/7 Metrobus service between Eastbourne and Gatwick Airport, via Willingdon, Hailsham, East Hoathly, Halland, Uckfield, Maresfield, Forest Row, East Grinstead, Copthorne and Manor Royal Business District.

Route 500 will replace the existing routes 54 (between Eastbourne and Uckfield) and 261 (between Uckfield and East Grinstead), and will include all stops except Manor Park and Polegate High Street on existing route 54 (but will serve St George’s Church), and Ashurst Wood village on existing route 261.

These improvements are supported by London Gatwick, East Sussex County Council and West Sussex County Council.
