The new face of the N29 is represented by Arriva London DW493, part of route 29's daytime allocation, on its way to Enfield Town. The Wrightbus 2DL Integral is seen at Tottenham Court Road.
The famous Roy's sign in Amboy, CA. This town, along Route 66 in the Mojave desert was long ago made obsolete when the Interstate was created to the north... just as in Pixar's Cars.
Route 77 used to have variations lettered A B and C. The last to go was the 77a which was renumbered 87 a few years ago. This was the last 'suffix' route in London. On Sunday 19th September 2010, Roger Wrights London Bus Company (with help from Ensign) recreated this service (though only over the Clapham Junction to Kings Cross section) using a selection of 56-63 year old RTs and an RTW. Don't know why. Don't know how they ever got permission from Transport for London to do it (they were taking fares!) Not that I'm complaining!
This is Ensign's RT 4421 looking a little out of place as it pulls up to the pick-up stop in futuristic Vauxhall bus station.
Route 331 : Ruislip Station (B) - Uxbridge, Belmont Road (D) via Mount Vernon Hospital & Harefield

Metrobus 747 on route 284 in Verdent Lane, this is Hither Green, over that wall is the cemetery of the same name.
Verdant Lane, Hither Green.
Today the wife and I took out 6832 in the Black Country for a bit of a run around.
We drove through, Stourbridge, Merry Hill, Cradley Heath, Halesowen, Quinton, Birmingham City Centre, Oldbury, Dudley, Sedgley then home taking in a few routes.
We had a cracking day and here she is in New Street pretending to be on Rail Replacement!
We’ve just past Gants Hill Roundabout. Time for another song, Route 66 by Bobby Troup
Well if you ever plan to motor west
Just take my way that’s the highway that’s the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well it winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than 2000 miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
In common with travelling across the USA, bus journeys are measured in time not distance. But our journey should take less than an hour compared to 5 ~ 7 days it would take to drive from Chicago to L.A.
On a bus journey passengers choose whether to spend the time travelling in the inner space of their thoughts or the inner space of the bus - examining their fellow passengers and the bus or they can observe the passing scenery. Unfortunately suburban Essex doesn’t compare favourably with the vistas of New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California.
Along the Post-1937 Route 66 through Zuzax, New Mexico, this Chevron filling station, while certainly not a ghost, is a prime example of the creative architecture that used to be common along the Mother Road.
According to Wikipedia, this was a Tourist store in the 1950s, with a short chair lift up the hill behind it.
Sanders, Arizona.
Well, that's what Google Maps says.
There was a nice color photo of the interior of this diner in one of my Route 66 guidebooks. Typical diner photo showing the counter and stools, menu, memorabilia on the walls.
Only trouble is that the book was published in 2006. From another book, I learned that the Route 66 Diner was no longer open. Since it was near the Sanders Post Office, which I also photographed, it was still an easy drive to check this place out.
Definitely closed. No sign of any activity. Another Route 66 attraction shuttered forever.
Maybe not. According to Google Maps, this place will be re-opening, as described in the title.
I hope so, but, as the saying goes, I'll believe it when I see it...
