40 km from the Chinese border, Nepal: October 1975
The only remaining passenger to have travelled on the smaller bus since she boarded it at Istanbul, was Pam; she is seen here photographing Ab, the Dutch owner of the two buses, driving his smaller vehicle through water on the road from Kathmandu to the Friendship Bridge at Kodari (altitude over 6,600'). In 1975 the bridge over the Bhote Kosi River was the closed border crossing between Nepal and Tibet – which had been occupied by the Chinese for many years. The road was little more than a single-lane dirt track; the only traffic using it went no further than the frontier town of Kodari – nothing was crossing the bridge in either direction – or had done for a long time. When we drove the seventy-odd miles from Kathmandu, up the road to the border, the round trip took about fourteen hours. There had been frequent post-monsoon rockfalls and landslides onto the road which we had to wait for to be cleared by bulldozers before we could drive on. Some of the boulders that came down were the size of a car. In more recent years the Nepal-China border has re-opened and the road has been significantly upgraded and is now known as the Araniko Highway.
I still have copies of the passenger list for this trip, which left London on 8th September 1975, and many other trips operated by Budget Bus (including Tour East).

Si está marca no os suena, no es de extrañar pero su nombre a partir de 1926 si puede que os suene: Willys Overland. Sí es la marca que aún perdura como Jeep.
If the name does not sound familiar, it is not surprising but its next name might sound more familiar: Willys Overland. Yes, it is the marque that survives as Jeep.

The Overlander scenic train, awaiting departure from the underground tunnels at the Britomart Transport Centre in downtown Auckland, New Zealand.
The Overlander is a journey through the heart of the North Island, travelling between Auckland - New Zealand's largest city and home of the Sky Tower, to Wellington - New Zealand's arts and culture capital.
Along the way you pass the Central North Island ski towns of National Park and Ohakune, popular with young and old alike. You also see fantastic views of New Zealand farmland, the volcanic plateau, Mount Ruapehu, the world famous Raurimu Spiral, and stunning river gorges - all from our panoramic windows or open air viewing decks allowing you the best possible views.
All carriages feature large panoramic windows giving sweeping views of the magnificent North Island. The Observation carriage includes a mix of seating including lounge style seating. The lounge style seating is arranged at the very rear of this glass backed carriage enabling you to enjoy a totally unique Overlander experience.
Been working on creating my own Overlanding Rig using sets 60117 and 60115 bases, combining them, and using lots of random bits to create this. Still a long way to go, but It is a work in progress.
Persepolis, Iran: 25 December 1971
YRC 45 was bought new in May 1962 by Burton-on-Trent Corporation and given the fleet number 45. The chassis number was AEC Re 2MU3RA3910; it had been fitted with a (C37F) Harrington Cavalier body, number Hn 2581. The bus had a mid-mounted, horizontal AEC AH470 engine (7.7 litres) and five-speed gearbox.
This photo of the bus was taken from the main terrace at the remains of the ancient city of Persepolis, in southern Iran. One of the passengers had seen enough and was wondering how much longer we'd be there as It was now the afternoon of Christmas Day and we had to drive another 40 miles to reach Shiraz, to find somewhere to stay for the night. Without much trouble we found an inexpensive hotel that not only served some food but bottled beer as well.
The former Cairo Supper Club building at 4015 N. Sheridan Rod. is clad with multicolored terra cotta, created by the Northwestern Terra Cotta Company and ornamented with ancient Egyptian motifs, including lotus-decorated columns and a concave “cavetto” cornice with a winged-scarab medallion. The building was designed by Chicago architect Paul Gerhardt, Sr., whose work included Cook County Hospital and three Chicago high schools: Lane Technical, Von Steuben and DuSable High School.
Winston & Co. probably built the building as speculative commercial space. A 1920 newspaper report noted Winston granted a 15-year lease to the building’s first tenant, the Overland-Phillips Motor Car Company. Later in the 1920s, Marmon and Hupmobile automobiles were sold here. From at least 1949 until 1964, the Cairo Supper Club (first known as the Cairo Lounge), a combination restaurant/nightclub, was the tenant. Along with a resident band, the club featured a variety of acts, including singing groups such as the “Bachelors” and the “Personalities”; exotic dancers such as Emilia Greca and Kismet; and magicians such as Giuli Giuli, touted in ads as “straight from Cairo, Egypt.” Perhaps the best-known entertainer was hypnotist Marshall Brodien, who was a regular for several years in the early 1960s. Brodien later became prominent on Chicago television as “Wizzo the Wizard” on WGN-TV’s The Bozo Show and Bozo’s Circus. The Cairo Supper Club closed suddenly on May 11, 1964, after the building was firebombed. Subsequent investigation indicated that the firebombing was connected to a nationwide crime spree against restaurants by organized crime.
Nick’s Uptown, a bar, was the final tenant, after which the building was purchased by nearby Thorek Memorial Hospital in 2014. Application for landmark status is pending.
