A study of bus stops in Hampshire
While across the border in Surrey, bus stops are maintained by Surrey CC (and a very good job they do too), in Hampshire, the flags are left up to the operators.
There are some exceptions where Hants CC put up new style bus stops of their own though (usually in town centres, or pairs of stops at rail stations), and then often forget to update them.
The stops in Rectory Road don't fall under that category, and are just the usual mix up of random bits and bobs.
On the Farnborough-bound side of the road, the flag was Stagecoach's, with no route numbers shown, as seen here, while the timetable case was a Surrey CC one, featuring a Stagecoach stop specific timetable for the 41, and a Surrey CC timetable for the 48.
SCC bus review phase 2 from September 2011 saw the 48 withdrawn between Frimley Green and Farnborough (diverted to Frimley Park Hospital instead), replaced along this section by new route 11.
In separate changes, Hampshire CC route 41 was re-tendered and taken over by Countryliner from 17th October 2011. As far as I'm aware, the flags stayed Stagecoach throughout Countryliner's time on the route.
Both 11 and 41 are now run by Fleet Buzz following the death of Countryliner, so I'll have to re-visit the area soon and see what the stop situation is!
