The 409 is a rather long route; apparently it takes about 2 hours:

it spends so long wandering about Surrey that they would rather drive

Not exactly scenic but on the theme of wandering Surrey buses an
interesting sight is the 479 at Bookham station which religiously leaves
one minute before the next train arrives (if it stops at all - it does
like to scream in and out of the car park avoiding eye contact with
anyone) thus avoiding picking up anyone who might conceivably like to
use it as a connecting service.
