DSCN4994 Brighton and Hove 884 (T672 KPU) - 28 Sep 2010

Tuesday 28 September 2010 (1316) – Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company (Go-Ahead Group owned) 884 (T672 KPU), is one of seven secondhand Alexander ALX400 bodied Dennis Tridents added to the fleet in Sept 2005 which had been new to Stagecoach East London in 1998/1999.

B&H is very marketing conscious and a number of buses carry side displays of this kind from the ‘I’m on the bus’ series which feature a quoted message from either passengers or company employees. ‘Lady Marmalade Live’ is a Brighton based function and party band.

In addition, most of the company’s buses carry names of people having a connection with the Brighton area. David Sheppard Cricketer/Lord Sheppard of Liverpool, who died aged 75 of cancer in 2005, was captain of Sussex and England at cricket. After he retired from the game he achieved even more eminence as Anglican Bishop of Liverpool and a reforming member of the House of Lords.
