Compass Royston - Optare Solo - T14 CRT is seen here at Middlesbrough, Cannon Park Way operating the Teesside University Free Park & Ride service PR1 on November 25th 2015.
This was my first time shooting sunrise at Gasworks. I had to ask a couple guys to get out of my shot so I could get this. I was polite, but they had walked right in front of me while I was exposing without any consideration of the other photographers at all.
This was shot with Lee ND grad filters so I could pull out the foreground detail, with a 5Dmkii, 17-40mm.
Compass Bus Enviro 200 SK15HBD is seen leaving Guildford Bus Station with a 32 to Redhill, 17th December
Compass Royston NH16GEH, a 2016 Mercedes-Benz Tourismo, was seen on Anlaby Road on a coach holiday to Wales- i'm assuming this was operating on behalf of National Holidays. New to National Holidays. Nice to see the ex National Holiday coaches are still running around the country on holidays.
Compass Bus has expanded markedly from its Sussex base with an outstation at Dunsfold near Cranleigh. Not far away, in Cranleigh itself, e200 1116 SN66WKE heads through a dreary December morning.
Her journey is *almost* done! She can't wait to find out where her forever home will be!
Thank you, Linda, and Sandra, for all of your hard work with this wonderful project, and for letting us be a part of it! Thank you to all of the hosts and hostesses who enjoyed Compass' visit and showed her so many wonderful things this year!
While Compass was home, I cleaned and sanded some dirty areas a bit, washed the back of her head, touched up a few freckles on her nose, gave her some new coats of spray matte, re-glossed her lips, gave her a little vinegar rinse to try to reduce the oxidation in her teal hair, and then washed and conditioned her hair. I'm going to glue down a little scalp gap at the back before I mail her out. (Thanks to those of you who cleaned her during her travels, she was in really good shape!)
Which way is south? The side that still has the leaves. Only useful until all the leaves fall off. :-)
Canon 30D. Not as sharp as you would like. Pixelization in the sky.
Compass Bus took over the 18 on the new, full contract from 30th August 2022, Safeguard having run the revised version of the service on a temporary basis from December 2021 following Arriva's closure.
I believe the buses had their destination blinds sorted by day 2, and here is YX67 UYE showing those off at Bowers Farm Drive, having just spun round the roundabout - although it is actually on a journey that runs to Onslow Village, not Guildford bus station.
This journey runs Bushy Hill - Town Centre - Onslow Village - Town Centre and then only as far as Weylea Farm (rather than all the way to Bushy Hill). Confusingly, the RTI displays at stops had the final destination of "Banks Way" [Weylea Farm] on display the whole way round just to add to the confusion, even though the bus at this point is heading in the opposite direction to that.

Excerpt from the Origin of the Compass Rose by Bill Thoen
The compass rose has appeared on charts and maps since the 1300's when the portolan charts first made their appearance. The term "rose" comes from the figure's compass points resembling the petals of the well-known flower.
Originally, this device was used to indicate the directions of the winds (and it was then known as a wind rose), but the 32 points of the compass rose come from the directions of the eight major winds, the eight half-winds and the sixteen quarter-winds.
In the Middle Ages, the names of the winds were commonly known throughout the Mediterranean countries as tramontana (N), greco (NE), levante (E), siroco (SE), ostro (S), libeccio (SW), ponente (W) and maestro (NW). On portolan charts you can see the initials of these winds labeled around the edge as T, G, L, S, O, L, P, and M.
Mercedes Benz Vario Plaxton Beaver 2 V896 LOH is seen on the Brighton City College shuttle bus on 23rd September, 2010, during three years spent in the Compass Bus fleet. It had been new to Clarksons of South Elmsall.
Delta Connection Embraer ERJ-175LR N609CZ operated by Compass Airlines lands at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport with a flight from Los Angeles. I heard today that the airline is due to cease operations within the next two weeks due to the impact of the current Coronavius outbreak - the world felt a very different place when I took this shot less than two months ago...

This is the oldest of a number of buses acquired by Compass Bus from Seaford and District earlier this year. Dennis Dart SLF Plaxton Pointer 2 SD05 SEA - originally KX05 KFE - works a service 7 from Worthing Pier on 8th October 2018. In this case, the lack of a destination display is not due to a malfunctioning camera but reflects the true turnout of the vehicle.
