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.

Compass design breaking through the chaos. This was worked for the online class with Sharon Boggon, run through joggles.com, class called Sumptuous Surfaces.
WEMBLEY 26/02/2023 Newcastle United vs Manchester United. Around 160 coaches turned up for the Carabao Cup Final and as usual a good selection of makes and models of varying ages came to have their photos taken by the assembled bus photting community. Highlights for this visit were a pair of McGill's Tourismos, a 1994 Jonckheere Monaco that has recently been on a couple of aid trips to Ukraine, 3x new Volvo 9700s for Sky Coaches, a mysterious Van Hool Astromega, and a suitably decorated minibus in NUFC colours!

I was going to see if I'd make a blonde version of this supposedly Jennifer Lawrence (Phi.. hm.. was it Phicen or Kumik? - can't remember atm - ) head as in "Red Sparrow" but it just found it's perfect spot to be and will not yield, now.
Apropos "Sparrow": the keys and compass 😄 are from the 1/6th scale version of Cptn. Jack Sparrow.
Faux gauze band roll is by me as the rest and I had two attempts at sewing on the red cross
The Golden Compass is an anti-Christian movie, based on an anti-Christian book. I agree with this, having read and enjoyed all three books in the series. Note I say enjoyed. I’ve read all sorts of heretical books. They didn’t prevent me from eventually rejecting atheism and finding faith any more than the New York Times did.
Compass in particular is not just any sort of heretical book. It is Gnostic in its theology. The God of Christianity who created the world and angels and the carnal and spiritual natures of man is split, in the Gnostic conception, onto two gods: The Creator who begat angels and human spirits then withdrew from his creation; and the Demiurge who imprisoned the spirit sparks of mankind in gross matter and doomed them to hell while demanding worship as Yahweh. Gnosticism, then, reverses the moral relation between Lucifer the Lightbringer and Yahweh the Demiurge. Obviously this leads directly to Satanism and all sorts of dangerous moral choices. So the fact that Pullman went into Gnosticism didn’t phase me, for I had already encountered the glamor and falseness of the Gnostic worldview, and rejected it.
The Gnostic worldview, and its moral inversion, is also on display in National Geographic’s terrible mistranslation of the Gospel of Judas, a gnostic text that was published last year, and retranslated this year, reversing almost all the controversial conclusions.
And of course the whole conceit behind The DaVinci Code, with Jesus shacking up with Mary Magdalene and founding the Merovingian dynasty, was more Gnostic (in the sense of “hidden knowledge”) claptrap spawned from the same conspiracy theorizing that inspired Holy Blood, Holy Grail. It reduces Jesus to just an ancestor of a European King, rather than the Son of God, and is typical of the Arian heresy that has somehow found its resurgence not only in many modern-day Christian sects but also in Islam.
Back to Pullman. The book that the His Dark Materials reminded me of most was Job, by Robert A. Heinlein, which I read probably 20 years ago. The conceit behind Job is that God and the Devil have a wager over whether the protagonist will end up in Heaven or Hell. The twist is that Hell is actually a nicer place, run by a nicer guy, than Heaven.
I believe that one should find inspiration in the knowledge of what one opposes, not in remaining ignorant of it.

Compass Bus provide a network of services across the South Downs National Park in East Sussex and West Sussex. ADL Enviro200 GX13FSO has now received an allover advert to promote 'Discover South Downs National Park', and is seen here at Lewes Station on rail replacement to Three Bridges.
She left yesterday on her adventure - over a year long! First stop is with luckybells in Ohio!
In addition to her T-shirt and sweater outfit that I made, she has a custom box with a protective quilted blanket (great for packing and sleeping! :D), and of course, her dearest confidante, Teddy.
The second 'Honk for Hope' UK coach event took place in Blackpool on 14/07/2020 and attracted around 200 coaches for a convoy along the M55 and along the Promenade before returning to the South Car Park at the end of Yeadon Way.
The purpose of the event was to raise awareness of the plight many operators currently find themselves in. The UK government has offered no financial help to coach operators due to the Covid pandemic almost wiping out their businesses.
The event was very well organised and attracted plenty of media coverage along with enthusiasts possibly enjoying their only event this year!

Former Arriva London DW126 (LJ05 BNK) is one of three DAF DB250 Wright Pulsar Geminis currently in the Compass Bus fleet and was caught working an 8A service on Worthing seafront on 6th November, 2018.
This ex Newport Bus Dennis Dart SLF Plaxton Pointer is a surprise recent arrival at Compass Bus. KU52 YKV was new to Thorpes in London as a dual-door bus. It was seen in Lancing this afternoon 17th March, 2023, on a 16 service. Not a camera trick - the front destination was not working.
What did we ever do without our smartphones???? ;D
