Compass Bus' DAF DB250/Wright Eclipse Gemini LJ05 GLV, which carries the company's corporate livery, is pictured here on North Street, Brighton, whilst working Brighton & Hove's 7X service to Brighton Station. 02/08/16
Previously with Arriva London South as fleet number DW133.
The summer of 2016 saw the introduction of a new limited-stop variant of service 7. The service, numbered 7X, provides a faster, more scenic link from Brighton Marina to Brighton Station. It runs at a 20-minute frequency along the seafront via Marine Parade stopping only at Paston Place (forCounty Hospital), then non-stop to the Sea Life Centre, Old Steine and North Street.
Due to staff shortages, Brighton & Hove worked closely with other local operators to support specific services. The company sub-contracted this service out to Compass Bus, using a pair of VDL DB250/Wright Eclipse Gemini vehicles recently acquired by the company, from Arriva London South.
In addition to this, Brighton & Hove also sub-contracted its 77 service out to Seaford & District. Closed-top double-deck vehicles were allocated on weekdays, and open-top / heritage vehicles were allocated on weekends.

Hold the compass level - if the compass is tilted, the needle will touch the clear lid and not move correctly.
Read the correct end of the needle.
Use common sense, such as knowing that if you are in North America, Europe, or Asia and heading anywhere towards the sun, you can't be heading north, northwest, or northeast. If you are south of the equator and heading towards the sun, it's just the opposite and you are heading in a northerly direction. (If you are in the tropics, between the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5 degrees North of the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5 degrees South of the equator, then this tip should not be used. The sun can be either north or south of you, depending on the time of year.)
RED IN THE SHED!
Keep the compass away from metal objects - even a knife, flashlight, or key chain can cause a false reading if too close to the compass.

The foundation stone for Carrington Centennial Hospital for Convalescents was laid by Lord Carrington at Grasmere, near Camden.
Understanding that men who were patients in the hospital were also Freemasons it was decided to built a cottage hospital which would be used for Lodge meetings for those men.
Being the Grand Master of the Grand United Lodge of New South Wales Lord Carrington with due Masonic formality laid the first stone of the Masonic Convalescent Hospital close to the main building.

Celebrating Daily Magic Prompt Six: Compass Rose
Midway In Our Journey by Mark Nepo
Just when we’re softened by the years,
when we have enough experience to see
for ourselves, our maps are torn from us.
This can be frightening, but there’s
divine timing in the dissolution of a
stubborn mind, the way an inlet waits
on the last rock to crumble so it can
find its destiny in the sea. Losing the
way set out by others is necessary so we
can discover for ourselves what it means
to be alive. Now we can burn the clothes
others have laid out for us, not in anger
but to light our way. Now we can let the
soul spill its honey on the unleavened life
we’ve been carrying. Now we can rise.
My heart is my compass rose - as long as I tune in and listen, then follow wherever it leads, I can experience peace, joy, love and magic and *discover for myself what it means to be alive*.
Love the detail in the compass...makes me want to create a whole room full of scientific victorian items...
The Jeep Compass was introduced by DaimlerChrysler in 2006. It's about the same size as the Jeep Patriot but has a more cross-over like styling. In 2011 the Compass was facelifted and got a front end in the style of the Grand Cherokee.

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.
