The route

From Eastbourne (BN20, BN21, BN22, BN23) the natural line out is the A22 and the A27, joining A23 London Road, then Kings Road for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 25.2 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 45 min off-peak becomes 55 min when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
