I could not let Denise Elliott's letters go without reply. I am sorry she had such a bad experience. It has certainly not been so in my case.

I travel to Eastbourne from Brighton frequently, where I am one of the Councillors on the East Sussex Fire Authority.

The buses are always on time, the drivers are pleasant and courteous, and the journey is usually a delight.

I can study council papers through the towns and watch the beautiful countryside go past outside them.

I have never been late for a meeting. I would not use this method of transport if it were not reliable.

-Councillor Sue Paskins, Green Party Member for St Peter's & North
