The Sussex Bus[1] was a bus company based in Burgess Hill, West Sussex which previously operated bus services in East Sussex and West Sussex. The company was formed in 2012 after Countryliner was placed in administration. It was a subsidiary of Heritage Coaches.[2] which has also ceased trading.
History

Services commenced at short notice on 9 October 2012 after Countryliner went into administration the day before. The company took over Countryliner's West Sussex operations, with a subsidy from the local authority on some of the routes.[3]
On 1 September 2014, Sussex Bus commenced operating services in Crawley branded as Crawley Reds.[4] In March 2015 it operated 16 routes.[5]
On 1 October 2016, most of the services were taken over by Compass Travel with no buses or the depot.[6][7][8]
Bus fires
The Sussex Bus had two bus fires in 2013, first in March[9] and the second in September.[10]
