The Departure of one really good bus


It always upsets me when I have to do a tribute to a bus I really like but have to in this case. I was informed via Facebook Messenger earlier that E300 27573 has gone a little bit further East along the Coast to Hastings to be reunited with 27571/2. Its replacement is a pile of junk which is not good at all. 

It's now a very slim chance that I will see this E300 down this way as they normally do the 304/254 from Hastings to Tunbridge Wells here is my little tribute to such a good bus. But anything can happen and there will be rare workings.


27573 is seen in Cornfield Road sometime late last year 
 27573 sometimes worked the 51 here it having just terminated in Eastbourne Town Centre
27573 is seen having just finished working route 51
 Like all E300s that have operated in the area, 27573 spent most of its time on the 1/1A services the route it was new to 11 years ago.
27573 works route 1 in Eastbourne Town Centre

My final photo of 27573 was taken on New Years Eve a week before I knew of its transfer
It's not all doom and gloom as they're still running GX58s in Eastbourne just not as many as they used to 27573 will be missed loads.
