New Hastings bus loops bring direct links to Conquest Hospital

11 September 2026 · Transport · 1066 Radio

New circular bus routes are serving Hastings following the network changes introduced on Sunday 6 September.

The 300A and 300C run in opposite directions, with an hourly daytime service each way throughout the week. They provide direct journeys to Conquest Hospital from Downs Road, Hoads Wood Road, Linley Drive and Malvern Way.

The loops replace the 324 between Hastings station and Malvern Way, and the 329A between the hospital and the town centre. Other sections of the withdrawn 324 are covered by different routes.

East Sussex County Council also lists an earlier 323 journey for hospital shift workers: it leaves Hastings station at 06:22 on Mondays to Saturdays and reaches the Conquest at 06:45.

Several other services have changed their times or routes. Passengers should check their individual journeys against the new timetables, especially for early, late and school-day travel.
