This two-horse bus was then the only public transport link between Brighton and Rottingdean. It plied twice daily between the White Horse Hotel and Brighton Station and did the journey in an hour. When the old road was closed in 1897 three and four horses were necessary to pull the bus up the hill and the service started from the Royal Oak.
