Why does this exist?

Because if you've already ****ed up your life enough that you want to go
to Eastbourne, then going by bus instead of train really isn't any worse.

There are places a *lot* worse than Eastbourne.

The real reason is no doubt that it actually serves Kingston to Somewhere
In Between, and Somewhere In Between to Eastbourne,

The timetable suggests it doesn't - well, there is Brighton, but the
same question arises. I guess day trips to Eastbourne would make more
sense than day trips to Crawley.

a bit like how the
50 bus goes from Stockwell to Croydon but hardly any *passengers* go from
Stockwell to Croydon.
