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.

Down the valley of the shadow,
