Big Lemon new route from Woodingdean

Team Lemon, representatives from the Big Lemon bus company have been delivering leaflets through doors and chatting to locals about the contract they have been awarded by Brighton and Hove council to run the 52 route. The shortened route runs from Woodingdean to Brighton Marina via Ovingdean and officially starts on September 17. The timetable has been co-ordinated with route 47 (operated by compass) from the marina into the centre of Brighton and citysaver tickets will be valid for both buses and for Brighton and Hove Buses too. At the moment the key smartcard will not work on Big Lemon buses. All usual concessions apply.

For the Big Lemon, being awarded the route was a tremendous achievement and they think that the route will be the first contracted council route in the UK that is powered by biofuel.

Big Lemon say we are very determined to develop a new kind of bus service. We want passengers to enjoy our friendly, affordable and sustainable service. We aim to develop a bus service which people enjoy, look forward to, and above all, choose to use in preference to private motor transport. This way we can encourage the shift from cars to shared transport and greatly reduce the negative effects of transport on our environment and on our health and wellbeing.
