The Alder Valley name was revived in 2002, when a new firm, Alder Valley (South) Limited, was registered, trading under the name of Alder Valley Travel. The company operated a fleet of vehicles on private hire work, school contracts, stage carriage bus services and rail replacement services, and was based in Alton, with depots there and in Staines. As of February 2008, the company operated four routes on behalf of Surrey County Council: services 84 between Bisley and Camberley (Collingwood College), 85 (Ash and Collingwood College), 690 Winston Churchill School to Brookwood and Worplesdon and 828 Knaphill to Guildford. The company ceased trading on 22 May 2009, its vehicles and routes passing to Atbus.

Famous quotes containing the words valley and/or travel:
“To be seventy years old is like climbing the Alps. You reach a snow-crowned summit, and see behind you the deep valley stretching miles and miles away, and before you other summits higher and whiter, which you may have strength to climb, or may not. Then you sit down and meditate and wonder which it will be.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
