Phil Sutters' photos with the keyword: Rider

The fleet number - B462 - may be from the period when a number of these buses were operated by Countryliner, on routes which Compass have now taken over. Photo taken from the top deck of a Brighton & Hove bus.

The Rider services are supported by East Sussex County Council. These new buses are a mixed blessing, with only room for one or two unfolded buggies (depending on the size) and no luggage area. They have a good number of seats at ground floor level, but the 'disabled persons' seats' on the near side have a post which makes stowing a 'walker' difficult. The seats on the right side seem to have been mounted too far forward on their subframes, as there are little projecting frame ends which can catch your knees, if you are a lofty lad like me. They are wider and longer, with a limited steering lock, so are taking longer to manoeuvre around the residential streets that the 119 route follows. Oh and the view from the middle of the bus is obscured by the Rider logo. Surely it could have been smaller or lower.

Route 126 - Renown's remaining route in Seaford and even that is shared with Cuckmere Community Bus and Compass. They do Sundays and the early morning run respectively.
