The Optare MetroRider was not a type particularly common to Surrey, although Tillingbourne did have a few before they went into receivership back in 2001 (see below).
I do remember that Arriva did operate one around Guildford and Woking once, it was on loan from the Kent operations. Not sure which depot it was on loan to - it could have been Woking depot back then of course as it hadn't been closed yet.
In Sussex, Compass Travel started their operations using step entrance minibuses, including MetroRiders, and there were loads of the things in the fleet at that time. See www.compass-travel.co.uk/ex_fleet.html
They now only have two left, and it just so happens that this one, T422 ADN, is one of the pair (along with T421 ADN) they still do have.
Seen here in West Street, outside Chichester Cathedral, on route 84 in January 2010.
I just bought a compass to go with my map; now I'm unstoppable! Or at least know what direction I'm driving in. It seems that cars didn't have built-in compasses in 1999.

6x6 was the main culprit for the field of view issues I had. Here's one that still kind of worked.
Compass Entertainment Complex (28,000 square feet)
100 Entertainment Drive, Irvington, VA
This center opened on September 4th, 2020.
This was given to me by a relative about sixty years ago, and it already had some age on it then. There are no markings other than "Swiss Made".
In a miraculously successful through-the-traffic shot on Guildford's one way system, Compass Bus GX13 FSN heads for its bus station terminus on the 42.
Although they've been on the service many times before, this is the first time I've seen one of the 13-reg 'face-lifted' Enviros on the route.
UPDATE: Turns out that, while newer face Enviros have been on the service before, this didn't include the short 13-reg ones, and that this day was actually the first time one of them had made the 42. Thanks to Andy Crawley for this.

A sunny Autumn day, 13th November, 2024, and I decided to track down Compass Travel's solitary Scania OmniLink which was operating the once weekly 106 service from Henfield to Worthing. YT13 HKZ was new to Johnsons, Henley-in-Arden, and is seen at Upper Beeding.
