Safeguard OPC26R
Back in 1986 Guildford based Safeguard commenced operation of route 550 running from Aldershot to Camberley via Ash and Frimley. The hourly service required 2 buses and these were usually a pair of their Duple Dominant buses.
So, fancying a day out, on 30/11/2024 the route was recreated using preserved Safeguard Leyland Leopard OPC26R. Suitable photo stops were made at key points along the route starting in The Grove, Aldershot. It proved to be a great way to mark the end of meteorological autumn.
The route would pass to Alder Valley in 1992 when the retender required two brand new buses (which turned out to be a pair of Leyland Lynx 2s).
