From Monday, May 13 Stagecoach will launch a new bus route, the 701, running between Eastbourne and Brighton via Seaford and Newhaven.
The hourly service, which will operate Mondays to Saturdays, will link passengers to locations including the Amex Stadium.
The 701 route will travel close to the Falmer campuses of both University of Sussex and University of Brighton, as well as the latter’s Lewes Road campus.
It will operate from the bus company’s Eastbourne depot and tickets will start from £2 for a single journey, in-line with the national bus fare cap.
The 701 will also connect passengers with Stagecoach route 700 in Brighton which travels west of the city.
Stagecoach says more information including the full timetable will be published later this month.
