D Clapinson may be interested to know we've switched alternate buses on Service 14 back to the coast road to restore the link from Peacehaven to the Newhaven Sainsbury store (Letters, May 14).

Passenger feedback showed this was preferred to serving the Royal Sussex County Hospital, especially as most people in Peacehaven have the alternate 14C journeys still running along Eastern Road.

Unfortunately there's not enough time to serve both Sainsbury and the Hospital on the 14 and I'm afraid Mrs Regina Mitchell, who says it does, (Letters, May 17), is mistaken.
