A BUS service was cancelled after the vehicle was soiled this morning.

Brighton and Hove Bus Company warned users on Twitter that the 12X 0623 service from Eastbourne required cleaning and would not run at about 9.30am.

The tweet said: “Unfortunately this service has not run due to there being "mess" in the bus requiring cleaning.”

Later, after being contacted by The Argus, the spokesman added: “Regretfully this bus was soiled this morning, and taken out of service immediately to be cleaned.”

So far the company has not provided any other details.
