We campaigned they listened!

Stagecoach announces some concessions

Last week we featured Erin’s campaign, we spoke to a local councillor Anne Cross and the Press Office at Stagecoach to get their comments. Lots of you signed her petition. Now it is encouraging to hear this comment from Stagecoach this week. It doesn’t fully address her concerns but it signals a response to some passengers’ concerns.

“In order to address concerns that with the exception of early morning journeys, there was not a suitably timed journey to arrive in Heathfield from the south before 9:00, the journey that was proposed to depart Eastbourne, Gildredge Road, at 8:05 on Mondays to Fridays will start at 7:45 and serve stops through to Heathfield 20 minutes earlier than intended. Scheduled arrival time at Fire Station is 8:51. The journey will then continue at 8:57 to Tunbridge Wells, serving all stops on this section 10 minutes earlier than originally proposed. This journey will also run earlier than proposed on Saturdays with departure from Eastbourne, Gildredge Road, at 7:55. The journey will run 10 minutes earlier than originally intended with scheduled arrival time at Heathfield Fire Station being 8:53. As on Mondays to Fridays, the journey will depart the Fire Station at 8:57 to Tunbridge Wells and serve stops over this section up to 12 minutes earlier than previously intended.”

Erin commented : “This is good news! This shows they’re listening! Please keep sharing the petition to gain more voices!”
