Bus Into The Future !

New (almost!) double decker buses have appeared on the Stagecoach Eastbourne route 1A in recent weeks, featuring audio announcements of next stops. This is very important for anyone with sight impairment, but reassuring for everyone on the bus – especially those new to bus travel or unfamiliar with the area. In due course, all buses will be required to install this facility giving us a ’step change’ in the quality of bus travel. The display on the front of these buses is in clear ‘white on black’ type, a departure from the current coloured type. Seating is comfortable and charging points standard.

New Improvements

Other improvements are to follow in due course including those unveiled at County Hall in mid-January. An invited audience of groups and individuals saw examples of bus stop information displays designed to help those with sight impairment, while benefiting all users. A large number of bus stops in East Sussex, Brighton and Hove (220) will see these installed, including an audio version with instructions in braille.

Maintaining and Improving Reliability of our Buses

Services restored and increased though the Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) over the last year have added journey opportunities and attracted new passengers. Their voices are now heard through bus user groups set up in Eastbourne and Hastings areas where concerns are aired and opportunities for improvements discussed with local authorities and bus operators. Improvements there certainly have been and more are in the pipeline with bus priority measures coming for Eastbourne to benefit bus services on the Hailsham – Stone Cross – North Langney – Seaside corridor as well as the Hailsham – Polegate – Willingdon – DGH – Eastbourne corridor. These are congestion busters!

To the west, the success of the popular Brighton and Hove 12/12X13X routes is worthy of note. The proposals between Eastbourne and Brighton are key to its continuing success and development against a backdrop of congestion hotspots, so we strongly support those measures proposed for: A259 Upperton Road – Station Parade, Eastbourne; A259 Newhaven, The Drove – Denton Roundabout; A259 Telscombe Cliffs – Peacehaven.

Conclusion

Buses are certainly getting better: wi-fi is now standard along with the ‘kneeling’ function to allow easy access for all.

Franchising or Enhanced Partnerships?

Deregulation

By the 1980’s bus services in England were in decline, with rising costs, increasing subsidies and so in order to address this problem the government of the time decided to deregulate bus services. This meant that private bus operators were allowed to set up bus routes, timetables, services and fares. This process was not a disaster, but the ever-increasing popularity of the private car weakened the need for buses. What we have now is a patchwork of bus operators who prioritised the most profitable routes at the cost of reducing services on less attractive routes such as those in rural areas.
Bus companies do not have to make all their bus routes profitable and to their credit they do run some routes at a loss paid for by more profitable routes.
Currently most bus routes in the Eastbourne and South Wealden area are operated by Stagecoach but East Sussex County Council (ESCC) subsidise some non-commercial bus routes mainly in rural areas, additionally ESCC also operate the free bus pass scheme for older people.

Bus Back Better

Buses are the most important form of public transport in England accounting for 53% of public transport journeys. But the number of bus users and bus miles is falling. In 2023 bus passenger numbers fell to 3.4 billion from 4.6 billion in 2009.
In March 2021 the Department for Transport announced their plans to improve bus services in England via ‘Bus Back Better’. This resulted in roll out of Bus Service Improvement Plans including Enhanced Partnerships (EP) and franchising options, but very few bus franchising schemes have been introduced.

What is an Enhanced Partnership (EP)?

An EP is a model through which the local transport authority and bus operators jointly agree a plan to improve bus services. The plan is a voluntary arrangement and attracts funding from government.
East Sussex County Council currently operate an EP with declared aims such as:
• Improving fares and ticketing
• Improving bus infrastructure
• Introducing bus priority measures
• Reduce harmful emissions
• Improve digital accessibility
• Improve public transport information

What is Franchising?

Franchising is a model of providing bus services where Local Transport Authorities (LTAs) such as county councils take control of how buses are run, this could be on a specific route or a particular area and ask bus operators to bid to operate these routes.
The LTA would specify the route, frequency of service, timetable and fares. The current government is keen to further improve bus services and so is encouraging LTA’s to introduce franchising schemes.
Franchising is not a new idea and is the model currently used in London, the Channel Islands and in many regions and cities in Europe. Greater Manchester has, this month, just finalised the third tranche of their franchise network and Liverpool are well underway in their planning.

Why we need good bus services?

Bus Stop
Bus Stop

• There are many people in society that do not have the luxury of having their own car or motorcycle and to them good bus services are vital.
• There are those that are unable to drive or are too young to drive, they too need good bus services.
• Buses connect our communities and allow access for many to health, leisure and education services.
• Good bus services can also get people out of their cars and so free up road space which will assist in making buses more reliable.
• Using buses will help us reach our carbon reduction targets.
• Less traffic on our roads will lead to less pollution.
• If bus services become more profitable through greater passenger numbers, then funding can be invested in electric buses.

Cambridge and Peterborough consultation document

Some thoughts:

• Analysis seems to show that franchising brings more benefits.
• Enhanced partnerships will mean less financial risk to transport authorities.
• In a shrinking economy can we afford to place a greater financial burden on local authorities?
• The main opposition to bus services is the private car, which is just too convenient, this will not change without a huge shift in public values which is not going to happen soon, if at all.
• Do local transport authorities have the expertise to operate bus ticket strategies, bus fare policy, network design, bus timetables etc?
• The setting up of a franchise scheme would have very large set up costs.
• Perhaps a compromise position could be reached whereby some areas have a franchise scheme while neighbouring areas have an Enhanced Partnership?
• Most franchising schemes that are currently in place or are being planned are in locations with high population densities such as Manchester and Liverpool. East Sussex is very much a rural area and hence will be more costly to operate a bus service.

Unitary Authorities

In January 2025 East Sussex County Council applied with West Sussex County Council and Brighton City Council to become a Mayoral Strategic Authority. It is reported that this could unlock significant power and resources to these areas. Transport could be one area to benefit if more funding becomes available as the authority could potentially introduce franchising schemes.

Conclusion 

At the end of the day either the Franchise or the current Enhanced Partnership model will improve bus services in the area.

Transport/ Planning Integration

Transport and Planning integration is the key to a sustainable, healthy future.

In the big battle against climate change, the one missing yet key weapon in the armoury, accepted by all policy makers for decades but infuriatingly absent in practice, is the full integration of ’transport’ and ‘planning’.

We must abandon ‘silo thinking’ around ‘transport’ and ‘planning’. They should be integrated to avoid the procession of car based developments being delivered across the UK. Until that happens, we won’t increase the take-up of shared transport (bus/train/tram) and increase levels of walking and cycling necessary to meet targets. At the same time it will improve the nation’s physical and mental health.

Fewer cars will free up space for nature, housing, business and children’s play and reduce congestion. Policy documents have recognised this over 50 years: delivery on the ground is sadly the exception. The new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) must deliver such integration if it is to be fit for purpose. Failure to do so would be unfair both to current and future generations.

Living with a Heat Pump

There seems to be a reluctance for people to install heat pumps even though there is a generous grant of £7500 to help with installation costs. The government’s target to install 600,000 per year has been woefully missed with only 72,000 installed in 2022.
Recent surveys show that only 16% of people are likely to install a heat pump in the foreseeable future. Part of the reason for the low uptake is misinformation in some sections of the media. The cost of fitting an ASHP to a 3 bedroom property is about £12,500, but the actual cost becomes £5,000 when the grant is taken into account, this is comparable to fitting a new gas boiler.

Fear of the unknown!

Many people are unsure about heat pump technology, even though virtually the same technology has been used in fridges for over 100 years. Other concerns are about noise, where to place the heat pump, the potential need for larger radiators in the home. Heat pumps run off electricity, which is expensive when compared to gas – sooner the government stops using electricity prices to subsidise gas prices the better it will be for the uptake of heat pumps.
Of course, not many people are going to remove an operational gas boiler just to have a heat pump installed, although that is exactly what I did just over a year ago.

Why install a Heat Pump?

Heat Pump

I decided to install an air source heat pump, solar PV and battery storage in order to make my home carbon free in terms of its energy supply. Virtually everyone is going to have to have a carbon free energy source by 2050. The sooner we do it the better if we are to restrict climate change to manageable levels.

How does an Air Source Heat Pump work?

• Electrical energy is used to operate the air source heat pump
• Air is drawn into the pump and energy is removed from air which makes it colder
• The energy extracted from the air is passed on by the heat pump to heat the domestic hot water or heat the home via radiators.

Magic, well not really!

. Process Map

Because the energy taken from the outside air is free the system works very effectively.
If the heat pump uses 1 Unit of electricity from the grid it can provide 3 Units of energy to the home.
The energy I purchase to run the heat pump is from carbon free sources, hence no carbon is emitted in providing energy to my home.

Things to consider!

Water Tank

• The heat pump needs to be placed outside with unrestricted air flow around it.
• The pump can’t be placed within 1 metre of a property boundary.
• The pump needs to be as close as possible to the hot water tank so as to reduce heat losses.
• The system stores hot water rather than producing it on demand
• The heat pump can’t have a volume greater than 0.6 m³ due to current planning regulations. Most companies design their domestic heat pumps to be just less than 0.6m³

• Central heating radiators will potentially need to be replaced with ones that have a larger surface area,  this is relatively easy to do.

Radiator

• The heat pump makes very little noise and can’t be heard inside the house.
• Currently most heat pump systems are ‘low temperature’ in that the radiators do not get very hot as they would with a gas boiler. This means that rooms take longer to heat up.
• Heat pumps work best in well insulated houses (as do gas boilers).

Does it work and at what cost to maintain?

Yes it works. My heat pump provides both hot water and heating throughout the year and there have been no problems. Maintenance is done via an annual service which costs £112 /year.

Over the past year, 2024, the heat pump took 2700 Units of electricity (kWh) to run. But because the heat pump captures free energy from the outside air, the total energy output I got from the system was 6750 kWh –(this figure was somewhat disappointing as expectations were for 8100 kWh- the system has now been recalibrated and hopefully next year the higher figure will be achieved).

Do the Maths.

• If I take 2700 Units from the grid and 1 Unit of electricity costs £0.25 then the cost of running the heat pump to provide household heating and hot water for a year is:
£0.25 x 2700 = £675
• The energy out of the heat pump system in terms of hot water and room heating is worth:£0.25 x 6750 = £1687 That is amazing!

How to find out about heat pumps?

• Check with your energy supplier, many now install heat pumps as part of their services.
• Costs will vary depending on the size of your property, the type of heat pump.

Free information session

There is a free session on Air Source Heat Pumps to be run by Eastbourne Eco Action Network and Energise Sussex Coast on Tuesday 28th January from 7-9pm, in the Willingdon Trees Community Centre. For more information, contact Eastbourne Eco Action Network.

20 MPH Reducing Injuries

What would make the biggest difference to reducing the ‘Killed and Seriously Injured’ (KSIs) on the roads in East Sussex ? The answer looks like 20mph. This has been shown to be true in Europe and the UK. So why is East Sussex failing to understand this and will the May 2025 County elections make a difference to the approach?

ESCC Current Policy

One of the ongoing issues within East Sussex County Council (ESCC) is their determination to stick to their current policy PS05/02 towards  20 mph zones and limits. There have been numerous motions, from opposition councillors, to change their approach but all have failed. This has also meant that in the latest list of planned improvements there are none around 20mph.

Elsewhere in UK

So what would a lower limit of 20 mph do? Remembering that most higher speed limits, such as 40, 50 and 70 mph would stay the same.

Similar reductions have been seen in parts of Scotland and councils such as Oxford.  It would appear that across the UK nothing has made as much of a difference to reducing KSI figures as 20mph .

One of the concerns is that drivers will not accept the 20mph. However research from DfT shows poor compliance at higher speeds. Plus having some vehicles been driven at 20mph may well affect the behaviour of others

 

 

Even if the number of incidents stayed the same the severity of injury is less, if the speed limit is reduced.

ESCC overall approach

So now it is  worth examining neighbours, where East Sussex is  worse than equivalent councils

Source West Sussex

So one view, might be that ESCC are trapped by their own bureaucracy, in reducing all their interventions to very small scale schemes. This does not have a major effect on the overall KSIs and keeps East Sussex at 150% (See above) of the  England KSI average per mile. Currently large sums are spent on consultation, Traffic regulation orders, match funding, sifting, rejecting, reviews and very little on delivery and construction. This is not the most cost-effective option.

The main arguments put forward by ESCC are:-

    • 20 mph limits only reduce speeds by 1 or 2 mph
    • There will be a greater burden of the Police
    • The ESCC targeted approach is better
    • To be effective, speed limits need to be set at a level which appears reasonable to a driver
    • They do not have sufficient funds to meet all the 20mph requests.

Item 4. Above should be re-worded to read, ‘where it is reasonable to a pedestrian’, who is after all the most vulnerable road user.

For more background  it is worth reading the full ESCC Scrutiny Review of 20mph You can follow their logic. But the key question is, ‘Has their existing policy made a difference?’  Yes, perhaps safety is increased in very small, selected areas but overall on a county wide basis the numbers are still poor when compared to other counties.

RoSPA

Now let us look at the evidence of how 20 mph limits and zones do make a significant difference. This is an excellent review by the Royal Society of Prevention of Accidents and gives a good analysis of where they have been implemented.

20 mph limits have been shown to reduce traffic speed, although not as much as 20mph zones with traffic calming. However, they are considerably less expensive to implement, which means that wider areas can be covered. They also provide additional benefits, such as encouraging more physical activity, such as walking and cycling. They can also greatly improve the character of a residential area and quality of life of the residents. 20mph limits are most appropriate for roads where average speeds are already low… and use of the road also gives the clear impression that a 20mph speed or below is the most appropriate.

RoSPA’s guide to 20 mph

Local Transport Plan

So is there hope for the future in the Local Transport Plan 4 (LTP4)? Covering up to 2050. The answer is not encouraging, with ESCC sticking to the same mantras:
The delivery of lower speed limits including 20mph speed limits and zones in the County is done in accordance with East Sussex County Council adopted Policy PS05/02. This policy reflects national guidance and best practice for setting speed limits.”and “The LTP4 policies clearly highlighted that the adopted ESCC Policy PS05/02 is the determinant for setting lower speed limits in the county”

For further reading There is plenty of evidence and examples at

20splenty.org

Wales and default 20mph

Conclusion

• East Sussex has a much higher than average number of KSIs
• The current approach of small piecemeal interventions, of all  types of schemes,  is not making enough difference to overall road safety. Spending large amounts resisting and rejecting schemes rather than implementing.
• Higher speed limits do not make for good ‘placemaking’, a requirement of LTP4

It is hoped that the May 2025 Council elections will change the balance of power and result in a different direction.

Bus lane in Eastbourne gets a step closer to reality

Eastbourne Eco Action Network (EEAN) welcomes the decision to approve the new bus lanes. The East Sussex County Council (ESCC) Lead Member for Transport and Environment now supports the revised plans for bus priority measures along Seaside and St Anthony’s Avenue. This being part of the county council’s Bus Service Improvement Plan.

The second public consultation showed that the majority (56%) of replies supported the new plans. Following concerns from local residents and businesses, changes have been made to the original proposal with the result that there will be more parking places than originally planned along the route.

The new plans are predicted to have little or no detrimental effect to journey times along the two roads but would reduce bus journey times, greatly improve reliability and make the bus an attractive alternative for short, local and cross-town trips.

Local councils want to support public transport, walking, cycling and wheeling. ESCC have received £41 million from the government to support better bus services. Bus priority is important for Eastbourne to be able to move to a more sustainable transport system in the future. Buses provide transport for all members of the population including the old, young, disabled and those unable to afford cars.

EEAN are confident that the bus priority measures will be successfully introduced and that local businesses will continue to thrive.

Let’s try and agree on new transport schemes

There has to be a better way to implement new transport schemes, than making two sets of campaigners, fight it out.

Seaside

The contentious Eastbourne Seaside bus lanes, which have now been agreed by East Sussex County Council (ESCC), still have to be redrawn and then go back to the Department for Transport , for a third time, for final sign off. Large amounts of money have already been spent on redesigning, two consultations, micro modelling traffic flows, health and safety and equality assessments . All this while nothing has been built and a year has gone by.

Non Bus Lane Options

However is seems that outside of the formal process it is possible for the various campaigning sides to agree what they think would work.

In terms of the £41M Bus Service Improvement Programme (BSIP) measures this includes:-

A scheme, proposed in the BSIP consultation, of a 100m ‘bus gate’ at then end of Atlantic Drive and the Crumbles, that would join the North and South harbours for buses. Perhaps a modified version of the 5 and 5A could then run along the seafront and through the harbour. This could lead to a faster and more regular service for the new housing developments.

Priority Traffic Lights for buses, where they actively change the lights, to let them through. You can see the idea at Huggetts Lane in Willingdon , where lights miss a phase if nobody wants to turn right or the green light stays longer if more traffic is on one direction. This makes the traffic flow better. Now add in the detection of buses and perhaps have longer, or earlier green phases. Of course the other vehicles on the same carriageway would also benefit. ESCC have £1.5M for 34 locations where there will be priority lights. Let us make the most of these time savings.

These are both examples of widespread support. There is then less likelihood of campaigners disagreeing and more of the tight budget will be spent on actually building schemes.

Cycling

The same idea should also be used for cycle routes, where there is a often a consensus, that off-road routes do not cause issues for motor vehicles. Such successful schemes include Horsey Sewer, Cuckoo Trail and the A27 shared path to Firle. So let us prioritise these where possible, instead of contentious and poorly configured solutions that are ‘shoehorned’ into narrow spaces on roads and footways.

New Houses need more Solar Panels

What a wasted opportunity! Thousands of new houses are being built in South Wealden without enough solar panels. Very similar in Eastbourne where apart from small schemes, houses are being built with either no or inadequate solar. This being the sunniest place in the UK!

Background

The price of solar panels ( Photovoltaic PV) keeps dropping dramatically . So why do local councils not influence builders in making the most of this clean energy?

It would make sense to reduce electricity grid demand by ensuring that all our newly built homes have enough solar panels. This does not appear to be happening. Where they are included, there can be as few as 2 panels and no battery. This would provide up to 1kW. This is barely enough to run a toaster.

Eastbourne’s previous MP, Caroline Ansell, in 2022 backed a bill, to make solar panels mandatory on new homes. “Solar costs have fallen by 50 per cent in the last seven years and I believe it is now the right time to ensure developers put this technology on all new homes. This is a win for homeowners and the planet. Installing solar is green and it will cut energy costs for people when gas and electricity prices are high and will remain so for some time.”

Sunsave says “The benefit of legally mandated solar panels on new builds in the UK would be enormous, and it seems to be on the horizon. However, until that time, it’s crucial that developers refrain from putting a pointlessly small number of solar panels on the roofs of new properties, as this only causes headaches for homeowners further down the line. “

Locally

Hindsland – Eastbourne Road Polegate

Some developers are doing well and some not. Here is an example in Hindsland (Polegate) . There will be 180 houses, where each unit, has around 2 solar panels. Next to it will be Mornings Mill with 800 units. Let us hope this will do better.

In the main picture is an estate in Hellingly. These houses have 4 to 6 panels. However on the other side of the road is a huge estate with next to none.

Building Regulations

So solar panels aren’t compulsory on new builds. They have become a common way for developers to meet certain building regulations. Many builders choose to install them in order to meet the required SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) score for energy efficiency.

By incorporating solar panels in the roof, developers enhance the property’s energy performance and raise their SAP score. This score is a calculation of its energy cost performance and renewable energy sources. Each building’s SAP score is then used in its Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating.

SAP scores are on a scale of 1 to 100+ with higher scores indicating better energy efficiency and less environmental impact. A score of over 100 would mean that the property’s net cost of energy over the year is nil, perhaps due to exporting back to the grid.

According to the UK Government’s most recent survey, the average SAP rating was less than 70 points. So how do developers get a higher score?

      • Walls, roofs, and floors are well-insulated
      • High-efficiency boilers or heat pump
      • Solar panels
      • Using double/ triple-glazed windows LED lighting
      • Mechanical ventilation heat recovery (MVHR)
      • Less heat loss by design & construction
      • Smart thermostats & heating controls

So solar panels are just one way to increase the score. But adding only 2 panels can have negative effects. One common problem is that developers don’t use all the available roof space. The property gets a higher SAP score but with only a few panels the actual impact on energy bills is negligible.

This can then create challenges if the homeowner decides to expand their solar panel system. Sometimes the original panels might be sunk into the roof and will need to be removed, to allow for a larger system, which adds to the total cost.

From the house to the Power Grid is becoming bi-directional (From Octopus )

Often the developers will provide an EV charger, for each house, but this will need to use the national grid . What a waste ! When more panels and batteries could result in free power. The idea of ‘National Grid 2.0’ allows for electric cars with solar panels and a battery, to export excess energy and provide enough household energy for up to a week.

Conclusion

Many developers appear to be installing as few solar panels as possible. This will not support net zero.  There should be a minimum number. Perhaps  4 panels  in a ‘standard house’ with even  more in larger ones.

New Bus User Group for South Wealden and Eastbourne

Guest Blog by David Everson

The importance of bus services in and around Eastbourne was a major topic at the initial meeting of the Eastbourne Area Bus Users Group (EABUG). This event took place in Eastbourne Town Hall on 16th October 2024. The group is an initiative of the Eastbourne Eco Action Network (EEAN). It aims to provide an interface between bus users, bus companies and local authorities. EABUG plans to meet three times a year.

Prominent among those present were representatives of local bus companies, Stagecoach, Brighton & Hove and Cuckmere buses. Also present were representatives of local disability groups, local and county councillors plus members of the public.

Jill Shacklock and David Everson (EEAN) both highlighted the need for good bus services. This was for those who could not drive or afford to drive, school children, those with disabilities or the elderly. They also emphasised the need to develop good sustainable transport systems.

East Sussex CC

A member of the East Sussex  Bus Team, Donnalyn Morris, gave an update on a variety of infrastructure projects that had been taking place in Eastbourne and Friston. Work on the Hailsham Mobility Hub was yet to start, with discussions currently taking place with Tesco about the project. The consultation about the proposed Bus Priority measures along Seaside and St Anthony’s in Eastbourne had now completed and a decision would be made in November.

Stagecoach

Matthew Arnold, Commercial Director, Stagecoach South East expressed concern over the detrimental effect that congestion had on bus punctuality and highlighted problems in Eastbourne. He described  these as the worst in the south east. He stated that car traffic was up 15% on pre Covid levels whilst bus passenger numbers had only risen to 94% of pre-Covid usage.

In addition, he also stated that buses were hindered by lack of co-ordination in the planning of roadworks. There needed to be more advance information sharing between ESCC and utility companies.

Brighton & Hove

Ben Garcia, from Brighton and Hove Buses, informed the meeting of recent improvements to their bus services. They are now a UK lead when it comes to inclusivity on their buses. They have dementia friendly seating and their drivers are trained to be ‘Dementia Friends’. All their buses are ‘talking buses’.

Cuckmere

Nick Price from Cuckmere Buses informed the meeting that their operation of eight, 16 seater buses were all driven by volunteers and that their new timetables would be published soon.

The main body of the meeting involved presentations, discussions and workshops about ‘Accessible Information’ on buses. New legislation requires most buses to provide information to passengers about the bus number and route and next stop information. Importantly the information must be given both visually and aurally. The new legislation came into force on 1st October 2024 for buses registered after October 2019. Older buses that need to be retrofitted with display boards and sound systems must be accessible by October 2026.

Using Apps

During the meeting there was a short presentation on how to use both Stagecoach and Brighton & Hove Bus Apps. QR codes were also highlighted as a quick means of accessing information at bus stops. A limiting factor for both of these sources of information is the necessity to have a Smart phone to access it.

Next Meeting

The next meeting of EABUG is planned for February 2025.
