Favourite Brighton & Hove bus stop?

[cheshunt seagull]

I have a least favourite; Upper Drive northbound. In the mid 70s I jumped off at that stop and without looking ahead of me walked straight into the stop and was flattened.

Wishing Well ( one for the oldies)

What's with the new i7 bus route from the station to the eyesore? Never yet seen a bus on the route carrying a single passenger.

I'll start a thread next, asking for people's favourite multi-story car parks.

Buses are for benefit scroungers, losers and those who can't afford cars.

I have epilepsy so am not medically allowed to drive- which category do I fall into?

 

[CHAPPERS]

the now defunct Withdean park and ride service.

Well, it's part of the 27 route isn't it so defunct isn't the full story.

My favourite stop the Withdean Park stop. Sit on the grass and wait for the bus in the fresh, London Road fuelled, air.

The westbound stop on the 700 route at Church Road Portslade as you have the knowledge of leaving the City behind and entering delightful West Sussex before the next stop.

 

[Peter Grummit]

B+H: Old Trolleybus shelter at the rocket park, Ditchling Road.

Elsewhere: Chelsea, World's End. Appropriately, the terminus stop on the 328 from Golders Green.

since when did 'can't afford' count for anything?

 

[The Oldman]

As a lad it was the stop in Clarke Avenue just round the corner from Amberley Drive. Now it's Churchill Square as it means I am going home on the Coaster to Seaford and all its lovely countryside around Exceat

You are right. The original Park & Ride bus went down Dyke Road, the 27 goes down Queen's Road.

Have actually got two cars also but got the 27 home this morning as I dropped one of the cars in for a service.

Best bus stop for me is Old Steine for 27 to Westdene. Can always get a seat whereas if you get on at Clock Tower, takes ages to load and a scramble for seats.

Having said all this, what a nerdy thread!!!

Burwash Road and the 3A ( now the 5A) I would have thought was Timmys ride into the fleshpots of Brighton, after he'd picked up his paper round money from Mr Bullen.

 

[patcham lad]

the peper box - no 42 trolley bus - those were the days!

 

[T.G]

I have s favourite and a least liked. My favourite is the one along London Road opposite the old Co-op!
It was and probably is a parade of the Wierd and wonderful if Brighton. My least is the one in Lrwes Road outside the Labour Club when it had a roof I through my niece playfully in the air. Only to look on in horror as she crashed against the roof and landed limp in my arm. My niece survived but not sure about family relationships

I love my bus pass.

Unable to drive a car on medical grounds and are therefore excluded from the above list.
However the government should provide funding for you for taxi's so you don't have to share a bus with the above mentioned group.

Upper Drive/Dyke Road bus stop, opposite the petrol station. I used to get the bus home from Cardinal Newman from there. I would change onto a 5B in town somewhere. Had to give some of tbe kids a wide berth though as the Whitehawk and Moulscombe kids also got on that bus.

Is HB&B going to collect our suggestions into some sort of calendar for 2017? And then stand half-naked in a seductive pose in front of each of them?

 

[The Spanish]

Rottingdean outside the white horse. The absolute hub of the A259, buses taking you to all sorts of wonderful places.

Mr Bullen had the grocers, Mr Silk had the paper shop, the 3A ran along Clarke Avenue and that was too far from Timmy's house
