Eastbourne Dominated

Now that Eastbourne's buses have been taken over by Stagecoach there are even fewer former Municipals left standing apart in their individualistic colours. This East Sussex seaside town always had and interesting fleet of some smartly maintained elderly vehicles but by the Nineties like other similar operations the loss of ratepayers subsidy and the eroding pressures of competition meant standards were not quite what they once were and even second-hand vehicles started to make their appearance including this ten year old former East-Lancs bodied Dennis Dominator from Tayside (Dundee). Still apart from the Scottish registration few would have guessed as Eastbourne already had similar buses bought new in the fleet.
