Oct. 19, 2021: Stop in Holbrook, Arizona. Holbrook, Arizona, was founded in 1881 and gained famed as a classic wild west town. Called a town "too tough for women and churches," Holbrook in 1914 was the only county seat in the United States without a church. The early Mormon settlers had left. Many residents served with Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders in the 1898 Spanish-American War. Today the Route 66 community of 5,000 is known for petrified wood stores and dinosaur sculptures.

Well, I'm a standing on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my lord
In a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
I have always had a soft spot for route 161. For most of the time I lived en-route in Eltham it was operated by my favourite buses - RTs. It was (and is) a busy and frequent service starting in leafy Chislehurst (the 161a went even further to Petts Wood) it went up and down several hills, served historic Eltham, swooped down alongside Woolwich Common past the magnificent RA barracks and terminated in the grim riverside town of Woolwich with its Ferry and mighty Arsenal. The RTs hurried effortlessly and gracefully about their work. The 161 was operated by Sidcup garage and the 161a by Abbey Wood.
Here a 161a approaches the stop at the north side of what London Transport insisted on calling 'Well Hall Circus' in Eltham - but what everyone else called Well Hall Roundabout. By now it is operating as a tram replacement service - the services between Eltham and Woolwich surviving until the last day of London trams in 1952. RTs took over from the trams and ran until the mid-70s On the left can be seen some houses on the truly wonderful 'Progress' estate, a very attractive private estate that I think is the best in London. Unbelievably it was put up hurriedly during the first world war to house munitions workers. Behind the bus is the Odeon. After a period of private ownership it is now sadly closed. The stop the bus is about to call at is one I used frequently. Later it gained notoriety as the place where Stephen Lawrence was murdered by racist thugs. Ever since Eltham has carried this stain on its reputation that makes me sad.

The marker that commemorates where Route 66 once passed through what is now the Petrified Forest National Park. There isn't any trace of the road, it has been reclaimed by the brush and desert.

On a rather damp Saturday 23 November 2019, London bus route 140 Harrow-Heathrow celebrated its history and marked its imminent shortening by supplementing 15 heritage buses into the existing service. This meant Volvo / Wright Gemini buses (and a solitary Plaxton President) were joined by 8 RTs, 5 Routemasters and 2 Metrobuses for the day.
My visit included photo stops at Hayes, Heathrow and Harrow Weald taking advantage of free rides aboard RM1397, M1069 and RT2177.
