Bus passengers faced delays today after a number of vehicles overheated.

The warm weather affected four Brighton and Hove Dennis Trident buses, one of which broke down four times.

Roger French, the managing director of Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company, said the problem was most likely down to driver error as these particular buses need to be "warmed up" to let the water cool their engines before setting off.

He said drivers had now been reminded of this quirk and apologised for any inconvenience caused to passengers.
