Route 223 : Wembley Central Station (CP) - Harrow View, Eastman Village
📍 Harrow Bus Station / College Road, Harrow
One from last Summer; the 4/5 were diverted from Southway between the School roundabout and the Aldershot Road shops for the day.
The diversion was over Park Barn Drive, Broadacres, Broad Street, and the Aldershot Road.
I spent a good few hours capturing movements, with the usual low success rate - traffic, clouds, etc conspiring to defeat me as ever!
But this one came out ok.
YJ67 FYX heads into Guildford on the Aldershot Road, about to re-join normal route at the Southway/Northway junction.
36111 (MX59JDK) can be seen at Oxford Station prior to heading to the John Radcliffe Hospital via Marston on the 14.

ROUTE 66 – LA MYTHIQUE
Construite entre 1926 et 1937 afin de relier l’Ouest - encore très peu connu -, elle fut la première route transcontinentale goudronnée en Amérique, reliant Chicago (Illinois) à Santa Monica (Californie)
Longue de 3 945 km, elle traverse 3 fuseaux horaires et 8 états d’Est en Ouest.
Élevée au rang de route mythique, la célèbre Route 66 est devenue le symbole de toute une génération d’Américains épris de changement, de liberté et de voyages.
Elle a apporté un développement sans précédent dans toutes les petites communes qui la bordaient et fait la –modeste – fortune de milliers d’Américains. Des artistes l’ont célébrée, immortalisée en chansons, films, textes et tableaux.
Victime du Federal Aid Highway Act (1956), qui lança la construction massive de tout un système d’autoroutes à travers les Etats-Unis et officiellement déclassée le 27 juin 1985 puis retirée des cartes routières nationales, The Mother Road a perdu de sa superbe.
Aujourd’hui de grandes portions sont impraticables, mal entretenues et de nombreux lieux sont désormais délabrés, à l’abandon.

A carved wood bench the side supports representing the eider ducks, for which the reserve is famous, on columns of shell and weed encrusted rock, the back board is carved to suggest the estuary landscape the bench faces.
Related Information:Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), which manages Forvie, near Newburgh, commissioned the bench after a donation by David Bruce Pimlott in memory of his wife, Elspeth. Mr and Mrs Pimlott enjoyed regular walks at Forvie before they moved to Northumberland.
Forvie National Nature Reserve is on the Ythan Estuary on the east coast of Scotland approximately 16 miles north of Aberdeen.
The stark beauty of empty sand dunes is complemented by the call of Eider ducks, wafting like gentle gossiping across the Ythan estuary. With the constant shifting of the dunes, layers of history have come and gone, revealing the half buried remains of a twelfth century church.
The Sands of Forvie is a nature reserve north of Newburgh in Aberdeenshire in the northeast of Scotland. Forvie
National Nature Reserve has the fifth largest sand dune system in Britain, and the least disturbed by human activity.
The dune system is an integral part of the Ythan Estuary and separated by the estuary from Balmedie beach. The reserve contains large areas of sandy foreshore, mobile and fixed dunes, dune pasture and lowland heath and the successional development of vegetation. The sand dunes are of various stages of evolution and contain marram grass (Ammophila arenaria), red fescue, (Festuca rubra), crowberry, (Empetrum nigrum), the cross-leaved heath (Erica tetralix), common sedge, (Carex nigra), marsh pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris) and the invasive creeping willow (Salix repens ssp. argentea).
The reserve contains the largest breeding colony of eider duck in Britain and an internationally important ternery.
The area is designated as a Special Protection Area for wildlife conservation purposes. The reserve is managed by Scottish Natural Heritage. Stevenson Forvie Centre near Collieston provides information on the reserve.
The sands were the site of the village of Forvie that was abandoned due to drifting sands.
Forvie was active in World Wars I and II, although very few details are recorded on the use of the area. It was incorrectly claimed there was a nine-hole golf course from 1900 to the outbreak of World War II. The course built for Lady Cathcart in 1900 was on the west coast island Uist.
The layout of Forvie and Newburgh could be mistaken for the mouth of the River Don in Aberdeen. With this is mind, defences were put in places around the mouth of the Ythan.
These consisted of pill boxes, two gun batteries and anti-tank blocks built by the 143rd Pioneer Corps. From a review of vulnerable beaches from April–October 1941, Forvie appeared on this list and was identified as "blocked with mines". The minefield ran from East to West (WO ref 31/521474 to 538472).
These were British Type C land mines weighing about 65 lbs each. Following a clear up of the area in July 1944, a number of landmines were unaccounted for due to the shifting sands of the area. Mine clearance altered the area slightly as the Bomb Disposal Unit from the Royal Engineers used a converted Bren gun carrier (known as a wasp) as a flamethrower to scorch vegetation on the mined area. Records show on some days 222 mines being dealt with, the actual mine count is unknown but the area took several months to clear. on 27 July 1944, Sapper Harry Dean (28) of 11 coy, Royal Engineers was killed whilst clearing a mine at Forvie. Sapper Dean is buried in Yorkshire .

Forvie sands was used to train the Gordon Highlanders and Highland Light Infantry in desert warfare, in addition to this Forvie Moor was used to train soldiers in the use of grenade, anti-tank grenades and 2" trench mortars. Since the war, mortar bombs have been found across the moor. Craters are still visible in the area. The soldiers training at Forvie were billeted at the Slains Lodge and buildings in Collieston.
On 3 November 1940, 30 High Explosive Bombs were dropped on Forvie Links by the luftwaffe. This is listed in the Aberdeenshire Civil Defence register, however little evidence exists that this occurred. No craters or patterns indicating a bombing run can be seen.
Whilst soldiers were training there, the moor were off limits to locals. However on Sundays, the locals could use the moor. During this time, locals collected birds eggs to use as food was rationed, and there was a plentiful supply of rabbits. On Sunday 30 November 1941, three local boys found an unexploded anti-tank grenade in a rabbit burrow that the army had been demonstrating to the home guard. One of the boys (Alex Ross), then threw it away where it exploded causing him to lose sight in one eye.
On 31 March 1941, the British steamer Melrose Abbey ran aground. On 2 April 1941 she was hit by a drifting sea mine blowing a large hole in her side, and settled on the Ythan river bed. During this time, a machine gun was posted at Forvie Sands to offer some protection for the vessel whilst plans were made to move her as she was a target for passing aircraft.
The ship was refloated on 26 July 1941 and towed to Aberdeen for repairs. She was later sunk by U-356 on 27 December 1942 north-east of the Azores. Several websites confirm this sinking, but this disagrees with the information in the reference below, which states that "As for Melrose Abbey, she was released from the Royal Navy in May 1945 and returned to her former owners, the Associated Humber Lines." The second reference may help to resolve this mix-up of ship names.
Beside the pill box of Forvie, two mobile naval 4" guns were places and controlled by 942nd Defence battery.
On 26 January 1942, the SS Lesrix, which was carrying machinery, ran aground off Hackley head during a blizzard. Locals in the community aided in the rescue of some of the crew, although ten crew members were lost. A bronze medal for gallantry was given by the King to one local for his part.
During patrols on the beach and cliffs of Forvie, a dinghy was found and this sparked a search for a spy that had been landed by submarine. This spy was caught in the moray area. It was rumoured that Tillery house near Udny had fascist sympathizers, where spies and airmen were told this was a "safe house" during the war. Since there were also Norwegian army personnel in the area who patrolled the beaches, the coast guard and home guard were issued with passes to identify themselves to the Norwegian soldiers.
In 1948, the Forvie area was earmarked to be a bombing and artillery range for the Royal Air Force and Army, as a site further north than the existing area at Lunan Bay near Arbroath. Forvie was to be used for air to ground and dive bombing practice. This involved a gunnery range out at sea and an rifle range on the moor. This proposal was cancelled in 1950; records exist in the National Archives on the proposal.

It’s kind of bittersweet to see this one lose its dayglo blinds as it maintained the same blind since it was delivered back in August 2012.

Route 66 - The Mother Road
New Kirk, New Mexico
Driving along Route 66 today can be a bit of a challenge. Segments of "Old Road" begin and end without warning, and the entire highway has often been paved.
However, in some places, the Route 66 Historical Society has placed easy-to-follow signs ... so there's no mistake that you're getting your kicks on Route 66!

Thank you all for viewing, please check out my photos, collections and albums.
The 315 is a cutesy, hidden away sort of route mainly because it goes through the Norwood housing areas and the tiny roads around the Thameslink branch line. The section along Tooting Bec Common is a nice way to break up the scenery.
Ex-First Group single door Darts, only ones based at Stockwell (SW) (the 322 and G1 have GALs own SE units) are the allocation but that will change when Abellio take control from 1st May. The replacement buses will be newer ex-K1 E200s which will give this route a much needed refresh.
YX09FLZ (SEN41) is at Norwood Road/Robson Road on a short run to Balham via Streatham and Bedford Hill.
