"The 1066 bus route is a relatively recent creation, launched in July 2023 by stitching together the old 254, 304 and 305 routes into one longer, more ambitious line."
"The route passes Wadhurst railway station - which is not in Wadhurst - and then runs headlong into the eternal problem of historic towns, in that roads are not designed for everyone wanting to drive a car and usually all at the same time."
"It's also a bone-shaker of a bus ride, of the sort that would have given many a teenage lad some embarrassing discomfort along the way."
"Yes, you could simply stay on the train and be there faster - but that would miss the point entirely."
The 1066 bus route connects Tunbridge Wells to Hastings, launched in July 2023 by merging previous routes. It operates hourly but has been reduced in frequency. The bus ride offers a scenic view of the countryside, though it can be slow due to narrow roads and traffic in historic towns. The fare is affordable at £3, making it an attractive option for visitors. The journey provides a unique experience, emphasizing the historical significance of the Battle of Hastings.
