Reverend Richard Coles tweeted last year: “The number twelve from Eastbourne to Brighton is without any wisp of a doubt the best bus IN THE WORLD.”

Research was carried out by analysing Instagram hashtags of 40 different bus routes throughout the country by insurance company SunLife. The highest rated was the Coastliner 840 from Leeds and York to Whitby.
