Following Countryliner being stripped of their Surrey CC contracts, routes 24 and 25 are now being run by Coaches Excetera.
There were three buses about today, which was a initially a surprise. Due to the old Countryliner timetables being so tight, Surrey CC and Coaches Excetera have arranged for three buses to be used (instead of two), so that a better service can be provided to users. Traffic congestion causing late running wasn't helping today though.
Having snapped VGX (S30 ETC) leaving on the 1340 24 ex-Guildford (arr Cranleigh 1409), I was expecting it to run the 1410 25 back from Cranleigh, arriving in Guildford at 1504.
It did, but only arrived twenty minutes late at 1524 as seen here. That gives an idea of how bad the traffic was as it was bang on time when it left Guildford on the 24.
This bus was previously with Sunray Travel. Its original registration is W317 VGX.

I went to Leatherhead in the hope of seeing all three workings on the 479. In the end, the 489's no-show meant I didn't. I got to Guildford in time to see the 1630 and 1730 departures, and should have seen the 1750 arrival.
Usually, the 1750 does turn up, as there's a handful of people on it, but unless it broke down, it didn't bother yesterday. Perhaps the dire weather had put passengers off.
I'm assuming it went home early.
Since the last time I saw the 479s, the Southern Transit deckers have gone back home (two survied the ordeal, two came off less well).
There's now more Volvo B10Ms on loan from Edward Thomas to cover the route. For some reason I can't fathom, Edward Thomas cover over the destination boxes on most of their vehicles. This is despite the fact they do operate quite a lot of publicly registered school routes, which should show full details.
Anyway - the end result is that the 479 is currently using 100% paper blinds, and normal manual blinds have been wiped from existence in Guildford.
Here we see R905 XFC standing in Commercial Road between trips. This is ex-Stagecoach Hants & Surrey, so is very familiar with Guildford. This would be well demonstrated with a photo of it in Guildford with Stagecoach - but it would seem I haven't uploaded any of the photos of that! I'll have to in due course!

Sunrays captured at Palm Beach this morning. Arriving at this location this morning it started to rain - So I ventured into a cave located above this location. A great spot for this type of weather completely undercover.
I cannot seem to make heads or tails out of this one. Why do I love it so and yet at the same time, why am I not in love with this one? So, lets pick it part:
Love: I love the spot of bright right below the sun, directly on the horizon. I am not talking about the mass of bright, I am talking about the thin area exactly on the horizon followed by a bit of black before going to the wide bright patch. And, of corse, I love the rays coming from the sun and I love the reflection of the sun its self.
Do not love: The mass of land between the water and the wet ground that has nice reflections. And, the black and white conversion. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate it, just not in love with it! But I sure did feel that the love did outweigh the don't love. So, I decided to bring it to you!
I sure do hope you enjoy this image. I did not use a grad this time, for the 15 second exposure, I used the Tiffen ND8 and the B+W ND106 stacked together.
Yesterday evening me and my daughters went out for a late night swim in a lake nearby our home.
Weather was about to change and rainclouds was coming in concealing parts of the eveningsun, creating wonderful sunrays that was shooting out over the water surface.
As the water was quite warm, it felt like swimming in sunrays .. :-)
I spotted this bus in ffront of the Hogg Auditorium at the University of Texas in Austin. They were in Austin for the 2009 UIL State One Act Play Championships.
Heritage Coaches 1455 MV is just one coach hired by Sunray Travel to keep the 479 going, after the Edward Thomas B10Ms were returned to their rightful owners ready for the new school term.
Here, 1455 MV can be seen heading down Epsom Road heading for Guildford Bus Station on 02/09/2013.
