Alder Valley Dennis Loline Mk. III fleet No. 855 prepares to leave Guildford Bus Station on the 96 to Rydes Hill, Sat. 20 May 1978.

AAA 508C, Alder Valley 835, manoeuvres in the centre of Guildford, on the 452 for Aldershot. In Poppy Red garb these buses were arguably better looking than in the short-lived drab maroon with cream relief scheme adopted briefly after the merger of Aldershot & District with Thames Valley Traction Co.. It still went no way towards the original handsome 2-tone green and cream which these Weymann-bodied buses were delivered in during 1965

AAA 528C, Loline 855 waits in Guildford Bus Station before setting off to Ewhurst Bulls Head on the 273. This Dennis looked quite smart and shiny, obviously a late repaint

AAA 527C, Alder Valley 854 stands at the terminus at Eashing Lane Estate after my run from Guildford Bus Station. Judging by the dents in the front dome, it must have encountered a number of low tree branches!
