2000 - 2003: National Bus Industry heritage awards for Service 77
During each summer from 2000 - 2005 inclusive, we operated on the traditional open-top bus route 77 between Brighton and Devil’s Dyke, high in the Sussex South Downs.
Using our 1960s double-deck buses under the “Breeze Up to Devil’s Dyke” banner, the project team was a finalist three times in the national Bus Industry Awards. The award recognised schemes which encouraged or promoted the use of registered local bus services by tourists or visitors, to areas, attractions, towns or cities
Between 2000 & 2003 the partnership received the three awards shown. Without the full and active support of the Countryside Agency, National Trust, Sussex Downs Conservation Board, Brighton & Hove Council and many generous volunteers, we simply could not have achieved this success.
Although we now no longer operate service 77, full details of the present day operation can be found at here.
