Stagecoach in Hants & Surrey operates from depots in
Aldershot and in
Peasmarsh, just outside of
Guildford. Since 2022 it has also operated from the former
Arriva depot in Guildford. It is made up of
Alder Valley's remaining operations, taken over by Stagecoach on 26 October 1992. The company operates a number of routes across
Hampshire and
Surrey, serving Aldershot,
Camberley,
Farnborough,
Godalming, and Guildford. In 2002, a number 22 Stagecoach bus, operating a journey from Aldershot to the
Old Dean estate, was hijacked by two armed men. On 9 February 2009, the
route 1 was upgraded to
Goldline status with 14 new Enviro300 vehicles. Following the
Countryliner bus company entering administration, in October 2012 Stagecoach took back route 46 that it lost in the last tendering round the previous month, as well as Surrey County Council school routes on an emergency basis until July 2013. Stagecoach stepped in to take control of the route 94 between
Bracknell and Camberley, after
First Beeline proposed to close its bus depot in Bracknell and withdraw most of its services in the area from Saturday 29 August 2015. However, the company later withdrew the service from 12 March 2016 over its loss-making nature. Stagecoach South opened a new depot at Peasmarsh in October 2015, which oversaw the relocation of several south Surrey bus routes from Aldershot and Haslemere to the new depot. On 31 December 2016, Stagecoach took over
Abellio Surrey's former route 515 (running between Guildford and
Kingston upon Thames) following the company's departure from Surrey operations, renumbering it as the 715 in homage to the former
Green Line Coaches route that ran on the same section. To launch the new route, a heritage
AEC Routemaster bus ran duplicate journeys, provided by the
London Bus Museum. The 715 was later passed to Falcon Coaches from 26 August 2023 following tender changes. After the takeover of Fleet Buzz, the Hants & Surrey division maintained a presence in
Reading until 16 April 2018, when the route 7 was split and
Reading Buses took over the northern section to
Fleet. As part of the deal, two Stagecoach vehicles were sold to Reading Buses. in August 2021 Two brand new services were launched from 29 July 2018 serving Guildford, the
University of Surrey and
Stoughton. In January 2019, working with the
BYD/
ADL Partnership, energy storage specialist Zenobe Energy, as well as members of
Surrey County Council and
Guildford Borough Council, Stagecoach in Hants & Surrey introduced nine electric
Alexander Dennis Enviro200EV buses on their Guildford
Park & Ride network, representing an investment of over £3 million. After
Arriva announced their withdrawal of bus operations from their Guildford base in November 2021, Stagecoach announced it would take over Arriva's commercial routes from Guildford,
Cranleigh and
Woking. However, shortly after the network expansion, Stagecoach reduced frequencies on its services owing to a driver shortage following the
COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the reduced timetable coming into effect on 2 January 2022, routes continued to suffer cancellations. For example, on Thursday 30 June 2022, the company had to cancel 70 journeys, posting cancellations on their
Twitter feed. A further timetable reduction was announced by summer 2022, affecting the high-frequency Guildford town services, and a number of bus services in Woking were passed to
Safeguard Coaches. From 1 May 2022, the route 91, which runs between Woking,
Goldsworth Park and
Knaphill, was given a boost in frequency to every 10–12 minutes during weekdays, every 12–15 minutes on Saturdays, and every 20 minutes on Sundays. However, this was reverted to every 15 minutes on Monday to Saturdays due to the ongoing driver shortage. The bus station has been closed as part of a £1.8 million revamp for
Aldershot railway station's forecourt. From April 2024, Stagecoach took over operations of the dedicated shuttle bus between Woking and
RHS Garden Wisley. A year later this had been replaced by a new
White Bus service connecting Wisley to both Woking and Guildford. ==Stagecoach in the South Downs==
