A new fleet of 24 upgraded British-built buses are set to be introduced in East Sussex at a cost of more than £7m.

Brighton & Hove Buses is launching the new "Regency" buses, with one of the new vehicles heading out on a public roadshow across Eastbourne, Hailsham and Lewes on Friday.

The vehicles will run on the Regency Routes 28, 29 and 29A, which connect Brighton, Lewes, Hailsham, Eastbourne, Uckfield, Heathfield, Crowborough and Tunbridge Wells.

Nick Hill, commercial director at Brighton & Hove Buses, said: "They represent our continued commitment to making local travel more comfortable, accessible, and inclusive for everyone."

The buses include upgraded seats and more charging ports, are being rolled out shortly after the event.

They are part of a wider £19m investment in new buses from the company.
