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.

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.

Traces of an old roadbed and weathered telephone poles mark the path of the famous "Main Street of America." Petrified Forest National Park is the only park in the National Park System containing a section of Historic Route 66. From Chicago to Los Angeles, this heavily traveled highway was not only a road--it stood as a symbol of opportunity, adventure and exploration to travelers.

Denali Highway (Alaska Route 8) is a lightly traveled, mostly gravel highway in the U.S. state of Alaska. It leads from Paxson on the Richardson Highway to Cantwell on the Parks Highway. Opened in 1957, it was the first road access to Denali National Park. Since 1971, primary park access has been via the Parks Highway, which incorporated a section of the Denali Highway from Cantwell to the present-day park entrance. The Denali Highway is 135 miles (217 km) in length.
Conditions
The highway is now little used and poorly maintained, and closed to all traffic from October to mid-May each year. Only the easternmost 21.3 miles (34.3 km) and westernmost 2.6 miles (4.2 km) are paved; whether the remainder should be paved as well is a continual source of debate. Washboarding and extreme dust are common, and the recommended speed limit is 30 mph (48 km/h).
Route description
Traveling west, the Denali Highway leaves the Richardson Highway (Alaska Route 4) at Paxson, and climbs steeply up into the foothills of the central Alaska Range. The first 21 miles (34 km), to Tangle Lakes, are paved. Along its length, the highway passes through three of the principal river drainages in Interior Alaska: the Copper River drainage, the Tanana/Yukon drainage and the Susitna drainage. Along the way, in good weather, there are views of the peaks and glaciers of the central Alaska Range, including Mount Hayes (13,700 ft), Mount Hess (11,940 ft) and Mount Deborah (12,688 ft). At MP 15, from the pullout on the south side of the road, in clear weather it is possible to see the Wrangell Mountains, the Chugach Mountains and the Alaska Range.
The first 45 miles (72 km) winds through the Amphitheater Mountains, cresting at Maclaren Summit, at 4,086 feet (1,245 m) the second highest road in Alaska. The road then drops down to the Maclaren River Valley with fine views north to Maclaren Glacier. After crossing the Maclaren River, the road winds through the geologically mysterious Crazy Notch and then along the toe of the Denali Clearwater Mountains to the Susitna River. After crossing the Susitna River the road extends across the glacier's outwash plains to the Nenana River, and then down the Nenana River to Cantwell on the George Parks Highway (Alaska Route 3).
