Compass Bus took over service 32 on 1st June 2015, following previous operator Arriva's decision its financial performance was not good enough - Compass won the resulting Surrey CC tender process.
Four new Enviro200s were acquired for the route - an improvement over the Arriva vehicle offering. However, Compass increased the fares quite a bit, and the service is no longer covered by any real time information systems.
Here, SK15 HBD is seen heading down Somerset Road in Meadvale. The grass and laburnum look somewhat more summery than the equivalent Arriva photo I took a month prior to this!

"Though pleas`d to see the dolphins play, I mind my compass and my way."
Since time immemorial, man has looked to the stars for navigational guidance when all other maps lie in darkness. The Big Dipper, or 'Plough', is an asterism that makes up part of the constellation of Ursa Major (The Big Bear). The two stars at the end of the "pan-handle", Merak and Dubhe, are called the "Pointer Stars" because a line drawn between them points to Polaris - the North Star. It lies above in the sky at a distance of about five lengths of the Merak-Dubhe line. This alignment was used by ancient mariners to determine their bearings, and also played an important part in the story of the Underground Railroad - which helped slaves escape their captivity in the southern states of the United States before the Civil War by fleeing north to Canada.
I was first told about this little navigational trick when staying with my Dad's friend Zack and his family, out in the darkness of the Gila Wilderness in New Mexico, and the memory has stayed with me whenever I stare up at the Dipper. I get a real thrill when seeing the galactic band of the milky way stretched out across the sky. Sadly that's a rare event for most of Britain's light polluted evenings, so I look forward to the time when I can return to Gila with my new camera. I highly recommend viewing this stunning milky way timelapse video, which was shot from the heights of the Mogollon Mountain rim that defines the area's geology.
