Sunday service restored
Diligent readers will recall that Compass Travel withdrew the No. 17 Sunday service on 16th September as the numbers of passengers travelling no longer covered the cost of operation. However, as from 17th September, Sussex Coaches have restored the service following an appeal from Brighton City Council and Brighton Bus Watch. ‘Senior’ and disability bus passes are accepted. Stagecoach continues to operate the route on Monday–Saturday.

Hurst Village Cinema
Yes, it is on the wrong side of the A23. But it is the nearest cinema to Fulking, parking is easy, and you can select seats and buy tickets direct from their website. They even have an ‘app’ (whatever that is).
