City to get 24-hour bus service

The city will soon have a 24-hour bus service

A 24-hour bus service will start running in a seaside city next month, a bus company has said.

The Brighton and Hove bus company has confirmed the move on the Metro Line Seven bus, travelling from Hove to Brighton Marina.

The route will include Eastern Road, the Royal Sussex County Hospital, central Brighton and Hove Station.

Buses will run every few minutes during the day, every ten minutes in the evening and every 30 minutes at night.

The service, starting on 26 September, has been backed by Brighton and Hove District Council.

Businesses in Brighton Marina have also been asked to back it during the first year of service.
