Fleet
As of March 2012, the fleet consists of:
- 9 Alexander Dennis Enviro200 Dart MPDs (Three in Stagecoach livery)
- 3 Alexander Dennis Enviro200 Darts (10.8m)
- 12 Dart SLF MPDs
- 1 Dart SLF (10.8m)
- 4 Alexander Dennis Enviro300s
- 6 Optare Solo SRs
- 7 Optare Solos
- 2 Optare MetroRiders
- 1 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter minibus
- 12 coaches, used for private hire, contract work and tours and
- 1 Ford Transit Minibus.
From the beginning of March 2012, the last service (the 70 in Horsham) went over to low-floor operation with the disposal of the Mercedes Vario in favour of a short, narrow Solo. Three step entrance vehicles remain - a Dart, earmarked for early disposal, plus two Metroriders. The latter are normally utilised on a college contract, but may deputise on the 70 due to size restrictions on the route of the school service attached to the duty.

Which I gaze on so fondly today,

Like fairy-gifts fading away.”

sits a fleet of small black ships,
square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
their spars like burned matchsticks.”
