There’ll also be a special ‘Loop’ service running every hour, bringing people from Hampden Park and Langney Point into town.
Philip Norwell, managing director of Stagecoach South East, said, “We recognise that many people don’t want to get the car out and drive on Boxing Day, but still want to go shopping, attend special events or visit friends and relatives.
“Some people also need to get to work, so this year we’ve decided to give people the opportunity to take the easy option and travel by bus.”
