How often do Buses swap routes due to certain circumstances? Last week on Wednesday 6th July and Thursday 7th July 2016 due to low trees on the 51/251/252 route Doubles weren't allowed on the 51/251/252 and 51/55/54 and whilst they were being cut the 51/251/252 and 51/55/54 could only be operated by Single - Deckers over the 2 days. This was due to some of the Doubles getting damaged by the low trees.
Meanwhile the Singles swapped onto the 51/251/252 and 51/55/54 on the scheduled Double - Decker workings. Whilst for the Doubles loads appeared on the Eastbourne Loop filling in for most of the routes allocation of Enviro200s whilst they were doing the 51/251/252 and 51/55/54. One day there was 7 Double - Deckers on the Loop joined by 3 Enviro200s whilst on the other day the Loops allocation for the day was almost fully Double - Decker apart from one Enviro200 which worked the route. One side was 100% Double whilst on the other side it was 80% Double the other 20% being the Enviro200.

| Route branding doesn't work sometimes as the Enviro400s branded for the 1/1A appear on other routes quite an bit demonstrated by 19650 (SP60 DTN) appearing on the Eastbourne Loop filling in for an Enviro200. |

On Friday the 8th of July the Doubles were allowed on the 51/251/252 again and 51/55/54 whilst the Enviro200s allocated to the Loop started appearing on the route again. I really enjoyed all those Doubles as that got me off the Enviro200s for an short period of time.
The other day i went in to the depot in Eastbourne to ask them something and there was a sign saying E300 Not to be used on routes 3/3A 51 And Loop
