There will be delays on the buses until the early evening due to traffic congestion.

Brighton and Hove Bus Company is warning passengers to expect severe delays and cancellations up until around 7.30pm.

Martin Harris, chief executive of the company, said half term and roadwork along Lewes Road were to blame.

He said: “Almost half of our fleet goes through that area so it does have an impact.

“I think being half term and a Friday the problem is a lot worse.

“On Wednesday it was 7pm to 7.30pm before it returned to normal.”
