We're making changes to our Worthing and Littlehampton bus network from late spring 2025, providing more buses across Worthing and Littlehampton, especially in the evening and at weekends!

The way people travel is constantly changing and we need to offer a transport system that adapts to evolving demand. These latest changes are designed to offer better services, reduce congestion, emissions, and provide the right number of buses in the right place at the right time. In addition, we'll be running more buses from all our busiest stops- improving links and reliability for a better network for our customers. 

This webpage provides further detail on new routes, network maps, and the reasoning for making the proposed changes, highlighting the benefits to the local community.

Changes in and around Littlehampton:

We'll be running more buses, more reliably, across Worthing and Littlehampton, and offering a new direct link from Wick/Littlehampton/Rustington to Worthing Hospital, making it easier for those needing to access healthcare. 

Route information:

The current service 700 (to/from Worthing & Brighton) will be replaced by new services 11 and 800. 

• Every 15 minutes Monday to Saturday daytime; every 30 minutes on Sundays
• Faster bus from Littlehampton/Rustington to Goring/Worthing (does not serve East Preston and runs fast to Goring along A259)
• Direct service to Worthing Hospital
• Continues past Worthing to Lancing (following the current PULSE route)
• Change buses at Worthing Marine Parade for service 700 to & from Brighton

11   Littlehampton • Rustington • East Preston • Ferring • Goring • Worthing

• Every 30 minutes Monday to Saturday daytime; hourly on Sundays
• Runs via Beaumont Park to Rustington Shops, then follows current 700 route to Worthing

There will be no changes to routes 9, 500 and 700 (to/from Chichester).

Why are we making these changes?

We know buses get delayed waiting for trains at level crossings. This impacts everyone waiting for a bus to arrive at their stop, then being late for work or important appointments. The splitting of the 700 route to new services 11 and 800 will help keep buses on time, with fewer trips over level crossings at Ferring and East Preston.

Changes in and around Worthing

We'll be running more buses, especially in the evening and at the weekends! These latest changes are designed to offer a better bus network and provide the right number of buses in the right place at the right time. 

Route information:

The current service 700 and PULSE will be replaced by new services 11, 700 and 800. 

• More buses! Every 20 minutes Monday to Saturday; every 30 minutes on Sundays
• New route in West Durrington, with stops on Celadine Road and Cornfield Way
• Later evening buses! Last buses from Worthing after 2300 Monday-Saturday and 2100 on Sundays
• No longer running along Carisbrooke Drive, but buses will still call at stops on Romany Road
• Change buses at Tesco for service 10 to/from Durrington & West Worthing

Why has it changed?

We'll be running more frequently as our current buses are very busy. Buses will also stop being affected by delays on the 10 at West Worthing level crossing. 

• New hourly Sunday service
• Improved punctuality with new timetable
• Change buses at Tesco for service 5 to/from Adur Avenue & Broadwater

Why has it changed?

Service 5 will run more frequently and serve the new West Durrington estate, meaning it can't join onto the 10.
