We turned right from the station pproach, and went round through Amersham-on-the-Hill, then ducked under the 14ft3in bridge that requires the use of lowbridge or single-deck buses on the 336.
We trundled along into Little Chalfont, past the Metropolitan station there, and back under the line. A little further to the east we pulled off the main road into the narrow village street of Chenies, where we pulled up at the little wooden bus shelter to take some pictures.
Pictures taken, we took our seats again, and we made our way out onto the main road again, to head for Rickmansworth. There we had to work out how the station bus layby worked: it is on the offside! After a passage round the block we squeezed in through the entrance to pull up beside the railway lines.
We were not there long. Soon we headed back out to the roundabout (once the layby traffic lights allowed us to leave), and headed back along the Amersham road in the rain. We passed the lane leading to Chorleywood, and soon pulled in to the narrow, single-track, lane to Chenies.
It was raining too hard to get out for more pictures. We went on towards Little Chalfont and Amersham, soon running round the loop to arrive back at the bus-park, where I said farewell to RLH48 for the day.
However, in the park I found RLH32, in Ledgard livery, set up for the 359 trip to Aylesbury.
I consulted the programme to see what I could fit in during the time remaining. A trip to High Wycombe by Green Line? Perhaps. My eye fell on a 305 trip to Beaconsfield that would continue on as a 455B to Wooburn Common. That looked promising...
