Timetables are available to download from Stagecoach’s website through the following link:
 
  • Rye schools – those using the current service 100 from the Lydd direction and Camber arriving at Rye Station at 08:39 should note that the new replacement service 102 journey will operate 11 minutes earlier. In the afternoons, the current 16:05 and 17:05 service 100 journeys back to these areas will be replaced by service 102 journeys each operating 2 minutes later whilst there will be no direct replacement for the service 101 journey currently departing at 16:45.
  • Rye schools – those using the current service 100 from the west (Hastings, Guestling, Icklesham, Winchelsea town) should note that the current journey from Hastings Station at 08:05 will depart 08:00 and serve all stops to Rye 5 minutes earlier than at present. This journey will also be extended within Hastings/St Leonards to start at Silverhill at 07:47. There will be no change to the times of the buses currently departing Rye Station at 15:44 and 16:44 through the Rother area although both journeys are allocated slightly more time to complete their journey within Hastings and St Leonards. For those finishing school/college later still, the current 17:44 departure will be unchanged from Rye and through Rother to Hastings, where it will terminate at Hastings Rail Station rather than continue to Silverhill.
  • Rye schools – those using the current service 101 from the west (Hastings, Fairlight, Pett Level, Winchelsea Beach) should note that the current journey from Hastings Station at 07:45 will depart 07:47 and serve all stops to Rye 2 – 4 minutes earlier than at present. The buses currently departing Rye Station at 16:14 and 17:14 will start from Rye 6 minutes earlier at 16:08 and 17:08. They will then serve stops through the Rother area 6 minutes earlier but are allocated slightly more time to complete their journey within Hastings and St Leonards so arrivals there will less than 6 minutes earlier than the current scheduled times.
  • Guestling Bradshaw CEP School – the current service 101 journey that serves the School in the mornings will depart Rye Station at 07:48 and serve all stops to the school 5 minutes earlier than at present.
