I visited the Eastbourne Air Show on Sunday and as I got off the bus, I was told the last bus back to Brighton would be at 7.15pm.

I therefore had to leave hours before the end. I returned to the bus stop at 5.30pm to find hundreds of people all trying to get home by bus.

A bus company representative told us there was a normal Sunday service and that there were no additional buses. The increasing frustration of everyone in the long and escalating queues was evident.

Having waited more than an hour, I finally managed to get a seat on a bus.

How outrageous that neither Stagecoach nor Brighton and Hove Bus Company made any effort to lay on extra buses for such a major show.

The air show and surrounding events were nevertheless outstanding and it was a spectacular day. I thank the organisers and participants for their hard work.

It is a shame that, due to the poor service provided by the two bus companies, I was not able to stay until the end.
