Dart J18 crosses Headley Heath on a 516 to Epsom.
The picture is not what it seems as a bus travelling in this direction would normally be coming from Epsom. However, during the closure of Pebble Hill, buses are running from Dorking via the A24 to the Leatherhead bypass and double running from Headley Heath to Boxhill.
Ignore the rather interesting routing shown on Traveline - it is totally inaccurate. The actual route is much less interesting.
Poison dart frogs are small, brilliantly colored, South American rainforest amphibians known for their toxic skin, which protects them from predators and gives them their name, as indigenous peoples once used the poison on hunting darts. They are active during the day (diurnal), feeding on small insects like ants and beetles, and possess sticky pads on their toes for climbing. Their vivid aposematic coloration serves as a clear warning of their danger, with the potency of their poison varying by species.
Key Characteristics
Toxic Skin: They secrete potent toxins from their skin, which can paralyze or kill predators.
Vibrant Colors: Poison dart frogs display bright, bold colors (yellow, red, blue, green, etc.) as a warning signal to other animals, a trait known as aposematic coloration.
Size: They are generally small, with most species growing to only one or two inches long.
Habitat: They live in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, often on the ground.
Behavior: Unlike most frogs, they are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day.
Diet: They are insectivores, primarily eating ants, beetles, and other small insects found on the forest floor.
Foot Structure: They lack webbing between their toes but have adhesive pads for climbing.
Origin of the Name
The name "poison dart frog" comes from the traditional practice of some indigenous peoples in Colombia and other regions using the frogs' potent toxins to coat the tips of their blow darts for hunting.
Toxicity and Diet
A frog's poison is derived from the insects it eats.
Different species have varying levels of toxicity; some are only slightly poisonous, while others, like the golden poison dart frog, are among the most toxic animals on Earth.

This photo taken on 21st March 2012 is my last photo of Arriva Guildford & West Surrey Dart 3088 (P288 FPK) in its old colours, prior to application of Aldershot & District commemorative livery.
It's seen on school route 121, a variation of the 21 which went to/from Priory School in Dorking. Both routes have now been withdrawn, as part of the Surrey CC Bus Review changes that caused 3088 to be withdrawn.
I do have a better version of this shot, but technically, that's not my last photo of it in turquoise!
Like a number of Darts, 3088 was withdrawn after the end of service on 1st September 2012 and stored at Cranleigh.

Pacific Avenue in downtown Dallas is threaded by the Orange, Red, Green and Blue Lines of the DART light rail network, with several stations along the route. This night view captures a southbound Red Line at the Akard Street stop.

Alas, it didnt stick......
Note the registration plate for this Dart - SN53JNO and this is perhaps the most unique of all the Lothian Darts. I'm grateful to Steven Oliver for the following information:
"The reason for this out-of-series registration in the 51-85 (SK52) batch of Dart SPDs is because the original number 75, SK52OJV, was destroyed by fire and written off when just 6 months old in June 2003, whilst running light on the City Bypass from Wallyford to Longstone off a late-evening service 44.
The second, and current, Dart 75 (seen here) replaced it as an extra bus added on to the 86-100 (SN53) batch which were delivered towards the end of
2003".
Thanks for that Steven. And behold.... here we are again yes at one of Edinburgh's great
monuments....Clermiston's very own (but perhaps not terribly stylish) Refreshment Rooms. This little red brick hut lights up the whole of this lonely atmosphere on the top of one of Edinburgh's seven hills. I wonder who the architect was?!

Tickets priced at €19 are also valid for any other DART service on Saturdays and Sundays.
