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.

Hastings, for instance.


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.
