Breeze up to the Downs!
Breeze up to the Downs is a network of three bus services linking the city with some of its most popular countryside destinations, within the South Downs National Park.
New Summer Times from Sunday 22 April!
All three buses will run every Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday. The 77 will also run daily during the summer!
These services are provided by a partnership between Brighton & Hove City Council, The National Trust and the South Downs National Park Authority.
