On 29th August, 1992, Compass Royston sent this Ford R1114 Duple Dominant 2 to Scarborough for the day. MAA 419T had been new to Trev's, Fair Oak, Hants.
I don't think anyone has ever made such a meal of repainting acquired vehicles as Compass Bus with their fleet of four London United Scania OmniCities but YT59 DYW now looks presentable with destination displays fitted too. It does retain its dual-door layout as illustrated in this scene at Billingshurst this afternoon, 4th October, 2023.
The residents of Micropolis like to enjoy a stroll in Compass Park, a block of calm and tranquility situated in the heart of the city. The world-renowned Rose Garden, Lily Pond and Hothouse offer varied places to visit, as well as the wilderness corner, offering shade and some pleasant walks. Opened April '18. Ref: D1533-047

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.
Four new Enviro200s were acquired for the route - an improvement over the Arriva vehicle offering. However, Compass increased the fares quite a bit, and the service is no longer covered by any real time information systems.
Here, SK15 HBD is seen heading down Somerset Road in Meadvale. The grass and laburnum look somewhat more summery than the equivalent Arriva photo I took a month prior to this!

I'd never been too happy with shots I took of this wildflower from the sunflower family. There were only three of these flowers out, and I got the idea to shoot one of them with a small, white cloud in the background. I like this one a lot better than my previous efforts..... The background can make so much difference in macro shots....
Compass plant contains a resinous sap that was used by Native Americans as a chewing gum. Some tribes burned the dried roots to ward off lightening during storms. They believed that lightening occurred more frequently where compass plant grew, and they would not camp in those locations. The name "compass plant" alludes to the tendency for basal leaves of plants to align their edges north and south.

"Though pleas`d to see the dolphins play, I mind my compass and my way."
Since time immemorial, man has looked to the stars for navigational guidance when all other maps lie in darkness. The Big Dipper, or 'Plough', is an asterism that makes up part of the constellation of Ursa Major (The Big Bear). The two stars at the end of the "pan-handle", Merak and Dubhe, are called the "Pointer Stars" because a line drawn between them points to Polaris - the North Star. It lies above in the sky at a distance of about five lengths of the Merak-Dubhe line. This alignment was used by ancient mariners to determine their bearings, and also played an important part in the story of the Underground Railroad - which helped slaves escape their captivity in the southern states of the United States before the Civil War by fleeing north to Canada.
I was first told about this little navigational trick when staying with my Dad's friend Zack and his family, out in the darkness of the Gila Wilderness in New Mexico, and the memory has stayed with me whenever I stare up at the Dipper. I get a real thrill when seeing the galactic band of the milky way stretched out across the sky. Sadly that's a rare event for most of Britain's light polluted evenings, so I look forward to the time when I can return to Gila with my new camera. I highly recommend viewing this stunning milky way timelapse video, which was shot from the heights of the Mogollon Mountain rim that defines the area's geology.
