Alexander Dennis Enviro 200. One of Compass's latest offerings, seen here on its way to west tarring in Worthing town centre.
True North is non-negotiable since a compass will always show where it is relative to your current position. There's a metaphorical significance to this concept somewhere. I just don't know where to begin looking.

A compass rose adorns the square in front of the Monument to the Discoveries. Made of black and red lioz limestone, it has a 50 m diameter, and contains a 14 m-wide planisphere decorated with vegetal elements, 5 small compass roses, 3 blowing faces personifying the wind, a mermaid, a mythical fish and Neptune with a trident and a trumpet, riding a marine beast. Dates, ships and caravels mark the main routes of the Portuguese expansion between the 15th and 16th centuries. The background consists of ‘open sea’ waves, a motif commonly used for the typical Portuguese cobblestone pavements. The compass rose was designed by architect Luís Cristino da Silva, and bestowed by the Republic of South Africa, which joined in the commemorations for the Infante. Inaugurated on 5 August 1960

Typical of the rural village in North Yorkshire which has seen a gradual decline in bus provision is North Rigton between Otley and Harrogate. Traditionally the Bradford - Harrogate service would divert three times a day off the main road and serve the village. That practice dated back to NBC days, but when firstgroup withdrew the service there was no bus at all. On the back of a declining market when another company took over the Otley - Harrogate section there was little custom left, people had made other arrangements or started using taxis. It was no surprise then, that the new service just kept to the main road and didn't serve the village which was situated at the top of a hill up from the main A658. Daytime service was lost, there has been attempts to give the village a service in the evenings through a NYCC tender over the years with various operators and route numbers. They have all faded away. Anyone wanting to travel to North Rigton now needs to fill a form in and send to the council in Northallerton ( by post ). Then pre-book a demand responsive minibus. Calls are only taken between 10am - 12pm via telephone to the council transport section. The demand responsive bus numbered DR04 only runs 4 days a week, to two different destinations !
Harrogate & District G915UPP working the evening tendered service pauses at North Rigton church, back when the village had a useful bus. The service was numbered R4 then but has been the 13,648,653 and 904 at least.

CA58 GHA was one of six Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse buses purchased from GHA Coaches by Compass in 2016 following the takeover of the Sussex Bus network. On 8th October, 2018, CA58 GHA was working school service 743 from Steyning to East Worthing.
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.
Their new Enviro YY15 NHM is seen here performing the route's double run through Brockham to Strood Green and back, while heading to Guildford.
The North Downs are clearly visible behind.

I was coming up from a dive when I spotted this. The camera was set to a white balance for deeper water (more red, so the jellyfish was whiter in reality), but I thought that the effect was nice. Garnish Pier, County Cork, August 2007.
Essential if one wants to fly in the right direction.
Whenever a significant change is made to an airframe it is necessary to Swing the compass to determine the small errors that residual magnetic fields in the structure have on the compass.
Those errors are recorded on the Compass Card. As can be seen from this card, the errors in this compass are only one or two degrees.

"no direction, I am a compass
constantly spinning
constantly searching for the end
never reaching our destination
but the goal was never when
or where
or who;
it was only you"
In September, 2020, Compass Bus received fourteen Enviro 200s on hire from Mistral Bus and Coach for use on additional school services introduced to allow social distancing on service buses. A further three had been added by the year end. YY66 PCX had been new to Crosville in Weston-super-mare and was making itself useful on rail replacement between Chichester and Portsmouth today, 20th February 2021.
This is my Silva compass. Part of its perspex base has broken off. It's little used now that Google Maps and OS maps online make instruments like this almost obsolete. However, it does not need batteries, nor does it lose its signal, so still useful as a backup. Probably about fifty years old now and still working.
