Southern passengers travelling east from Eastbourne late in the evening face replacement buses from Monday 9 to Thursday 12 November 2026, according to National Rail.
Engineering work will close the railway between Eastbourne and Hastings. From about 21:30 until the end of service on each of those four evenings, buses will run instead of trains between Eastbourne and Hastings or Ore.
Allow extra time for onward connections
Services towards Ashford International will run between Hastings and Ashford only. National Rail advises passengers starting at Eastbourne to take an earlier replacement bus to connect with those trains.
Check the National Rail journey planner before travelling and allow extra time. Confirm replacement-bus boarding points from station signs or official station information; the engineering notice does not specify an Eastbourne boarding point.
