Route 390 is set to become the fourth route in London to be converted to New Bus for London, with a planned date of Saturday 7th December. One month before the conversion, on Monday 4th November, Metroline's VPL593, a Volvo B7TL/Plaxton President allocated to Holloway (HT) Garage is seen heading along York Way, having just passed under the railway bridge which gives Eurostar trains (one of which can be seen in the photo) and Southern HighSpeed trains on the High Speed One line access to and from St Pancras International. The arrival of High Speed One at St Pancras in November 2008, and the restoration of St Pancras and Kings Cross Stations, has kick-started a regeneration of the area, and some of the new developments on the former Railway Lands can be seen in the background.
Route 390 is a relative newcomer to the London Bus scene, having first seen the light of day on 1st February 2003 as the replacement for the northern section of route 10 when that route went driver only, marking the beginning of the end for regular Routemaster operation in London. The 10 itself only appeared in August 1988 when the lengthy 73 was diverted away from Hammersmith to terminate at Victoria, and the section from Kings Cross to Archway was initially covered by Garage journeys only.
As introduced, the 390 was Routemaster-operated by Holloway (HT) Garage between Archway Station and Marble Arch, becoming London's last new route, and the only one numbered in the 300s, to be operated by Routemasters. It moved to a new base off York Way, Kings Cross (very close to where this photo was taken) from 29th March 2003, and the inevitable conversion to Driver-only came on 3rd September 2004. It was extended to Notting Hill Gate from 6th November 2004 to partially replace route 12 when that route was converted to bendybus operation and cut back to Oxford Circus. Since 10th July 2010 the route has been back at HT, as the base at Kings Cross moved to a new location which was unsuitable for double-deckers - it did a straight swap with the 214.

There’s not much left to salvage off this old fellow but he still remains. Although there’s not a scrap of paint on him the desert has managed to preserve the rusted body leaving us wondering how many miles he put behind him…

From Monday 7th July new route 25 was introduced between Central Reading and Peppard Common, replacing the northern section of route 2. It is interworked with route 22; gas-powered Scanias 430/431 have been repainted into pink from green livery and have been joined by scarlet 417, which has been released following a frequency reduction on route 9 which is paralleled by recently-introduced route 3 for much of its length. 417 is seen outside Sainsbury's in Friar Street, the Central Reading terminus, loading up for the 14.35 departure on the first day of the new service.

Route 66 is perhaps America's most famous highway. It linked downtown Chicago to the Santa Monica Pier in California and is often referred to as "The Mother Road." It helped usher in the era of modern automobile transit in America.

Today, much of the fabled Route 66 has been replaced by more efficient (but somewhat sterile) Interstate highways. There are still many, however, who make a pastime of revisiting the sections of Route 66 that still exist in bits and pieces across the Midwest.
We pulled off the modern interstate in Oklahoma to change drivers last week and wound up driving this section of the old Route 66 for several miles before rejoining the interstate. It was a nostalgic few miles which hearkened back to a bygone era in America.
Route Bus DBY 305 works the cruise terminal service 198 on 4th April, 2008. This bus was new to London Transport as SMS244 (EGN 244J).
Route 261 transfers to Stagecoach from Saturday 30th November 2013, ending an association with Metrobus which has lasted over a quarter of a century.
Scania OmniDekkas have been the usual fare on the route since 2006 and 907 is seen pulling away from the Heather Road stop in Baring Road, between Grove Park and Lee, during the afternoon of Friday 22nd November 2013.
***********************************
New routes 208 and 261 first saw the light of day on 4th September 1982; as part of the package of service revisions, cuts and economies introduced following the Law Lords' ruling earlier that year that the Greater London's 'Fares Fair' reductions were unlawful. The two new routes replaced the 94, which was withdrawn entirely; at the same time route 47 was reduced south of Lewisham and withdrawn between Bromley Garage and Farnborough, and route 51 was cut back from Farnborough to Orpington, route 261 providing new links across the village. Part of the rationale was that the 94 was operated by both Catford (TL) and Bromley (TB) Garages but passed neither, thus making it difficult and costly (because of staff travel time) to operate.
Like many new routes the 208 and 261 were initially crew-operated, but driver-only operation came to route 261 in April 1983, initiialy with Leyland National single-deckers but with double-deck Titans from April 1985. The section between Bromley Garage and Orpington was lost in August 1986, as part of the Orpington area reorganisation which saw the introduction of the R-prefix 'Roundabout' minibus routes.
Metrobus' incredible 26-year tenure of the route commenced on 27th November 1987; it was Metrobus' second major tender win, following on from the 61 the previous year. So successful would Metrobus become that during the 1990s a casual visitor to Bromley could be forgiven for thinking it had its own municipal buses, so predominant was the then blue-and-yellow livery. Under Metrobus the 261 was further cut back to Bromley Common 'Crown', although for many years there were garage journeys in service to and from Green Street Green; and even an early morning one-way journey starting at Pratt's Bottom. The opening of the new Princess Royal Hospital at Locksbottom saw the 261 extended there from February 2007.
Stagecoach takes over from Saturday 30th November with a batch of brand-new Enviro400s, and the route will once again return to Bromley Garage after more than a quarter of a century.
Having commenced London Bus operations when it took over a large slice of First London in June 2013, Tower Transit has now started making inroads into other operators' services, with new contracts being taken over for route 488 (from Stagecoach) on Saturday 28th February, and routes 212 (CT Plus) and 444 (Arriva London North) on Saturday 7th March - the 212 is CT Plus' first tender loss since it commenced London Bus operations with route 153 in 2001.
Tower Transit has ordered three very different batches of vehicles for the three routes, with the 212 gaining Volvo B5LH/Wright Gemini 3 hybrids, and the 444 door-forward Wright Streetlites. The offering for route 488 is somewhat more conventional, in the shape of 10.8m ADL Enviro200s, although these do have Euro6 low emission engines and introduce Tower Transit's new interior colour scheme, based on greys and greens. They also carry the same fleet numbering system, with vehicle-type letter codes, that was inherited from First London.
DMV 45104 is seen in the bus interchange at Dalston Junction Station on Monday 2nd March at the start of another journey to Bromley-by-Bow; a 'Tesco' qualifier has now been added to the blind display.
The Dalston Junction bus interchange was built with the idea of rerouteing northbound buses, which in the event has never happened. It was also thought there might be some restructuring of routes in the area to provide interchange at the rebuilt station, which was reopened in April 2010 as part of the East London Line Extension project - route 488's extension from Clapton Pond has been the sole change so far, and it remains the only route to use this facility. With no less than seven stands, drivers on routes 488 are spoiled for choice!
