Just when I was thinking I hadn't seen an Abellio Pegasus Dart in Woking for ages, 8774 (LK07 CBX) turned up. This one is yet to feature on my photostream.
It's seen here at St Peter's Hospital on a 446 to Staines. Although the really tall guy blocks it, the side LEDs were stuck on 461, a route this bus runs on more commonly.
St Peter's Hospital, Chertsey, Surrey.
When Wiltax bought Surrey Connect in May 2007, they didn't continue to run routes 426 and 446, so Travel London took over, taking on the five Mini Pointer Darts Surrey Connect had used on the route.
One of them was 8097 (YT51 EAA). They were all new to Connex in London.
Travel London's Surrey operations were later re-named to Travel Surrey (from 1 September 2007).
Then, in May 2009, National Express sold Travel London & Surrey to Abellio, part of Nederlandse Spoorwegen (the Dutch state owned rail company).
From 30 October 2009, Travel Surrey was re-branded to 'Abellio Surrey'.
The next change was Surrey CC bus review phase 1, effective from 28 August 2010. The 426 was withdrawn, replaced by the doubling of the 446 to half hourly and the diversion of the 557 from Addlestone to Woking.
The Ride Pegasus school bus operation had ended at the end of the school term in July 2010, and Abellio received 14 of the Surrey CC-owned 'Pegasus Darts'.
The five ex-Connex Darts, along with 8075-8085, were no longer required, and were returned off-lease.
8097 is seen here on diversion along Boundary Road on route 446, due to the planned closure of Walton Road for resurfacing.

Over at Wilford, a shuttle service is currently operating to get trent barton's Ruddington Connection customers wanting to travel to travel to/from Ruddington Lane in Wilford to the main bus route - connecting here at ROKO, a gym just down the road from Wilford Green.
And the cause of the road closure? Tram works - and over-running ones at that! 446 is seen here at Wilford ROKO. The base red livery is because it previously carried centrelink branding before the new Solo EV's on there.

Newport, RI; Summer 2010 or 2011. I forget which house this is, but if I find out I will add the name and a pic of the historic plaque.
In mijn begintijd op flickr deze foto al eens gepost, maar nu maar eens opnieuw geüpload en daarbij de foto iets aangepast.
Op 24 maart 2008 viel er in de vroege ochtend wat sneeuw die wonderlijk genoeg niet voor problemen zorgde. Alle treinen reden gewoon normaal, met uitzondering van de EN 446 Jan Kiepura uit Moskou, Minsk, Warschau, Praag en Kopenhagen. Deze had een halfuur vertraging en komt hier, getrokken door de 1613 en met de hard wegdooiende sneeuw, op volle snelheid door Bunnik gereden, onderweg naar Utrecht en Amsterdam.
Toentertijd reed deze trein net een paar maanden en werden ze gereden door locs serie 1600 van DB Schenker die er meestal nog viezer uitzagen dan de afgebeelde 1613 die binnenkort waarschijnlijk in het rood op de baan zal verschijnen.
I had just left class and was walking down the street of the downtown campus in Toronto when I noticed this boldly-dressed young woman ahead of me and I immediately thought of her as a subject for my Strangers project. Just then she encountered two friends and an enthusiastic greeting between them. After the hugs and the “Oh my goshes” it turned into an animated conversation on the street corner. Reluctant to break in on their socializing I decided to hang around the area, hoping to be nearby when the conversation broke up and hoping I didn’t look like a “lurker.”
After about five minutes, they were still talking with lots of hand gestures and clearly having a fun time. I decided to take a chance on approaching rather than wait and went into my “Excuse me for interrupting. I can see you’re having a fun time but my name is Jeff and I’m doing an amateur photography project…” They were all attentive and I concluded my “pitch” with “And I thought you were such a colourful and outgoing person, you would make a great participant for my project. What do you think?” Her two girlfriends were all for it, joking that it was obvious why I approached her and that she’d be perfect for my project. “Sure, she said, quite spontaneously. Where are we doing it?” Meet Sydni.
I suggested doing her portrait in the shade of a large landscape boulder by the pond which is between winter ice-skating use and summer pond. It had puddles here and there but was not filled. Just as I was getting Sydni into position, the sun came out from the previously overcast sky and it was too harsh. We moved to a boulder which was situated in the puddley pond but in the shade of the university building. There I noticed the light was too flat and pulled out my reflector. My explanation was unnecessary. Sydni is enrolled in the Film program at the university and just then her girlfriends waved that they would be glad to hold the reflector. Wow. I even had an assistant!
I took the photos and Sydni alternated between cracking up as her friends teased her and trying to give the more “neutral and natural” pose that I had suggested. The photo I chose for the main submission is between these two expression – she is trying to contain her giggles. I finished with Sydni wearing the funky sunglasses she had removed for the photos and we were done.
Sydni is 20 and grew up in Toronto. She is a second year student in the film program and loves it. “What do you like most about the program?” “Doing what I love and getting to work with great people like my friends here.” She said that she and one of her friends had just completed a project which was a documentary based on Sydni’s father who is from South Africa.
The three of us chatted once I’d put the camera and reflector away and Sydni’s friends, when asked how they would describe her, said “You got it when you said colourful and expressive. Colourful both in the way she dresses and the way she is. That’s her. She’s so open I was almost nervous to approach her when we first met but I’m so glad I did. She’s great.”
We exchanged information and all three wished me well with my project. They said it was fun being part of it. Sydni typed her name and email into my cell phone for me, saying “My parents gave me an unusual spelling for my name so I’d better type it for you.”
Thank you Sydni for participating in 100 Strangers. You are Stranger #446 in Round 5 of my project. Good luck with your studies.
