Cardiff Bus Seddon Pennine IV Midi 106
Earlier an Eastbourne bus ended up in Cardiff. Cardiff has bought secondhand vehicles from time to time. A very unusual purchase was this Seddon bodied Seddon Pennine IV 25 seat dual purpose midibus which used to be Eastbourne 94 (MJK94L) and became 106 in Cardiff. Unique in the Eastbourne fleet, it joined Cardiff's own small batch of Pennine IVs.

Eastbourne Buses Dennis Javelin Wadham Stringer J124FUF
Another sold Eastbourne bus was former 24 (J124FUF) a Wadham Stringer bodied Dennis Javelin, one of several Wadham Stringer bodied Dennis vehicles on Dart, Lance and Javelin chassis bought by Eastbourne in early nineties. Javelin 24 was bought by Red Rose Travel of Aylebury where its 55 seat capacity was valued on school routes. It is seen here refuelling at Keith Garages (once the home of Red Rover of Aylesbury) still in Eastbourne livery.
