Stagecoach Somerset Route 99 at my local bus stop on West Coker Road, in Yeovil, yards from where I live during university holiday periods.
This route has been improved beyond all recognition, when I first came to Yeovil visiting relatives back in 2002 there were 3 routes serving this stop Safeway Services Route 682 Yeovil-Crewkerne-South Petherton around 5 journeys each way at odd times Monday-Saturday, First Route 61 Yeovil-Crewkerne-Chard around 6-7 journeys each way at odd times Monday-Saturday and every 120 mins on Sundays and First Route 47 Yeovil-Crewkerne-Bridport 4 journeys Monday-Friday, 3 on Saturday.
Safeway Services packed up, First amalgamated two routes and diverted it via here (Route 56), First lost the Monday-Saturday 61 to Stagecoach who added a new route 60 doubling the service but withdrawing the Evening journeys, Nippy Bus introduced an hourly Night Bus on Wednesday-Saturday nights until 0300 am FIrst lost the 56 to Nippy Bus who renumbered it the N8 increasing the service to hourly, they later introduced a low floor solo owing to increasing demand, the 60 and 61 were joined to the 99 route creating new Routes 99/99A/99B with an hourly service all day for the first time, new Optare Versa's were purchased for the service which initially ran Yeovil-Crewkerne-Chard-Taunton-Wellington however reliability issues caused Stagecoach to reduce the length of the route to Taunton only. At this point this stop had a service every 20 minutes. Nippy Bus decide to reroute the N8 back to its original route the old 56 route pre-2004 and thus we lost this service from here, First introduced a Sunday service as a trial over the summer on the 47 which was successful and so it now operates all year.
So in 2011 we have
47 (First Hampshire & Dorset) Yeovil-Crewkerne-Beaminster-Bridport (4 Journeys) (Daily)
61 (First Somerset & Avon) Yeovil-Crewkerne-Chard (Every 120 mins) (Sundays)
99/99A/99B (Stagecoach Somerset) Yeovil-Crewkerne-Chard-Taunton (Every 60 mins) (Monday-Saturday)
N4 (Nippy Bus) Yeovil-Watercombe Heights (This Stop) (Every 60 mins) (Weds, Thurs, Fri & Sat Nights)
Somerset is becoming Optare County with operators including Stagecoach (Versa & Solo), South West Coaches (Versa & Solo), Webberbus (Versa & Solo), Nippy Bus (Solo), Hatch Green Coaches (Solo & soon to be Solo EV), Frome Minibuses (Solo), NORDCAT (Solo & soon to be Solo EV I believe), Bakers Coaches (Solo), Somerbus (Solo), First (Solo), Go Ahead Damory (Solo & Spectra) all taking the manufacturer's buses! The main competition is from Alexander Dennis with examples of Enviro 200's recently delivered to First, Webberbus & Quantock Motor Services.
Different pouches for the different routes serviced by West Ham
Resembling an old-fashioned aerodrome, West Ham Garage consists of four long round-roofed blocks, two open-facing and two sealed.
The building was designed to replace Stratford and Waterden Road Garages (demolished as part of the Olympic Park developments). The garage was a brownfield site, previously occupied by a Parcelforce Depot.
Demolition at the ParcelForce site began late in 2007 and by February 2008 the operation of the Stratford garage had moved to part of the new site. Operations from the other garage, known as Waterden Road, relocated initially to newly acquired and refurbished premises at Rainham, moving to the temporary West Ham site in May 2008.
Construction of the new garage took place immediately to the south of the temporary premises and the main garage structure was basically complete by the end of March 2009, at which time ParcelForce vacated their site further to the south of the garage that would become the bus parking area. By December 2009 the garage’s engineering and operating staff had moved in to the new building, joined by head office staff from Ilford in February 2010. Work on the parking, washing and fuelling area was completed in June 2010 when the contractors handed over the site.

The building was Pringle Richards Sharratt Architects.
Environmental aspects of the design include green roofs (50% of which is covered in lichen) which also captures rainwater for re-use, natural lighting and ventilation in the offices, and a turbine generating power.
This abandoned church in Cuervo is in fairly good condition. Looks like it gets a little maintenance. A cursory search on the net didn't turn up any history. If you like ghost towns, this one is a prize and right along I-40, 16.8 miles east of Santa Rosa, NM.

My friend's shoddy wireless router was not working, so we took it apart to find the problem. Since the casing was a mess, we decided to encase the router in something else, which turned out to be broken Dreamcast controller. Geeky fun!

You are invited to stay and browse through my stream. Here's a quick introduction to my little corner of Flickr:
Automobile Photographs: This is a very large collection of images whose primary, but not exclusive, focus is on American automotive classics. Images are organized by decade, by manufacturer, and by topics (such as convertibles, station wagons, muscle cars, etc.)
Central Illinois (excluding Springfield): Photos relating to the middle section of the "Land of Lincoln" (except for the Capital City of Springfield) may be found in this collection. Every city and town I've photographed is contained within its own set, and rural (as in "countryside") photographs are grouped by county.
Springfield, Illinois: All of my photographs of Springfield and the Abraham Lincoln Sites are in this collection. For the City of Springfield, there are separate sets for the Capitol Complex, Downtown (including the Old State Capitol), Neighborhoods, Parks, Illinois State Fairgrounds and more. Photographs of Lincoln sites include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln Tomb, and so on. Also in the Lincoln "All About Abe" (Set) are a few Lincoln sites not located in Springfield.
The Illinois State Fair: My collection of photographs of the Illinois State Fair. The fair offers something for everyone. Grab a corn dog and lemon shake-up, and come take a look!
Beyond Central Illinois: Other locales in the United States and Canada including New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle.
In addition to my location-based sets, here are links to some "topical" collections and sets I've put together:
Barbers & Barber Shops: Traditional barbers and barber shops are on the endangered species list. But there are still plenty to be found if you go looking for them.
Almost Everything Else. Check It Out!!!: Included topics range from man's first walk on the moon to small town schools and churches, and from Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers (our favorite breed) to things that are abandoned, neglected, weathered, or rusty.
Thanks for stopping by! - myoldpostcards (Randy von Liski)

North Street, Brighton, Sussex
This restaurant was in New Mexico not too far from the Texas border. I was fortunate to see cars from different eras right by the front door. We were running from a severe lightning storm that just seemed to change directions as we ate.
Great Eastern Square, Felixstowe.
This journey is withdrawn from 2nd April 2013 meaning that this Thursday will be its last run.
If you drive the road between Falkland and Kennoway (it's more than one road but they more or less link together) you'll notice that after climbing up into the Cults hills, there's a great long straight which is covered by trees. I noticed this straight was looking really nice so naturally, I stopped to grab some photos, with this one being my favourite. I did take some from the middle of the road (not as dangerous as it sounds) but I preferred this view.
Now, this isn't the first time I've given a photo a strange route number moniker. The only person the title will make sense to is myself and explaining what it all means would take countless paragraphs. An alternative title to this photo is "Autunnel", get it?
One of the latest conversions to hybrid buses by Stagecoach Manchester is route 256 Manchester - Hulme - Stretford - Davyhulme - Trafford General Hospital - Flixton. One of a batch of specially branded and WiFi equipped Alexander Dennis Enviro400Hs operating on this route and differently branded ones on the 50 MediaCityUK/Salford Quays - Salford - Manchester (Albert Square) - East Didsbury, these are the first new Stagecoach Manchester buses with Scottish rather than Manchester registrations, as part of an agreement between Stagecoach and Alexander Dennis to have the buses registered by Alexander Dennis before delivery.
12230, registration SL63 FZM, is loading up at Piccadilly Gardens on a 256 bound for Flixton on 16th December 2013.

La U.S. 66, también conocida como U.S. Route 66, Route 66 (Ruta 66), The Main Street of America (La calle principal de América), The Mother Road (La carretera madre) y la Will Rogers Highway (Carretera de Will Rogers), formó parte de la Red de Carreteras Federales de Estados Unidos. Una de las rutas federales originales, la U.S. 66 se estableció el 11 de noviembre de 1926, aunque no se señalizó hasta el año siguiente (...). La Ruta 66 fue objeto de muchas mejoras y cambios de trazado, muchos de ellos afectaron bastante a la longitud de la carretera, uno de ellos fue el traslado del final de Los Ángeles a Santa Mónica. Contrariamente a la creencia generalizada, la Ruta 66 nunca llegó al océano; acababa en lo que era el inicio de la U.S. 101, lo que es hoy la intersección de Olympic Boulevard con Lincoln Boulevard. Nunca estuvo en la intersección de Ocean Boulevard con Santa Monica Boulevard, a pesar de que haya una placa dedicatoria de la Ruta 66 como la Will Rogers Highway (Carretera de Will Rogers) allí.
La Ruta 66 fue el principal itinerario de los emigrantes que iban al oeste, especialmente durante las tormentas de polvo de los años 30, y sostuvo la economía de las zonas que la carretera atravesaba. La gente que prosperó durante la creciente popularidad de la carretera fue la misma que años más tarde luchó por mantenerla viva cuando empezó a construirse la nueva Red de Autopistas Interestatales de Estados Unidos.
La U.S. 66 (Ruta 66) fue descatalogada (es decir, oficialmente retirada de la Red de Carreteras de Estados Unidos) el 27 de junio de 1985 después de decidirse que la carretera ya no era relevante y haber sido reemplazada por la Red de Autopistas Interestatales de Estados Unidos. Partes de la carretera que discurre a través de Illinois, Nuevo México y Arizona han sido señalizadas con letreros de "Historic Route 66" (Ruta Histórica 66) y ha vuelto a aparecer en los mapas de carreteras de esta forma.
--------------------
U.S. Route 66 (also known as the Will Rogers Highway after the humorist, and colloquially known as the "Main Street of America" or the "Mother Road") was a highway within the U.S. Highway System. One of the original U.S. highways, Route 66 was established on November 11, 1926 -- with road signs erected the following year. The highway, which became one of the most famous roads in America, originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before ending at Los Angeles, covering a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km). It was recognized in popular culture by both a hit song (written by Bobby Troup, originally recorded by the Nat King Cole Trio in 1946, and later performed by such artists as Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, The Manhattan Transfer and Depeche Mode) and the Route 66 television show in the 1960s.
Route 66 underwent many improvements and realignments over its lifetime, changing its path and overall length. Many of the realignments gave travelers faster or safer routes, or detoured around city congestion. One realignment moved the western endpoint farther west from downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica.
Route 66 served as a major path for those who migrated west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, and it supported the economies of the communities through which the road passed. People doing business along the route became prosperous due to the growing popularity of the highway, and those same people later fought to keep the highway alive in the face of the growing threat of being bypassed by the new Interstate Highway System.
U.S. 66 was officially removed from the United States Highway System on June 27, 1985 after it was decided the route was no longer relevant and had been replaced by the Interstate Highway System. Portions of the road that passed through Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, and Arizona have been designated a National Scenic Byway of the name "Historic Route 66". It has begun to return to maps in this form. Some portions of the road in southern California have been redesignated "State Route 66", and others bear "Historic Route 66" signs and relevant historic information.

En été, en fin de journée, je prenais le temps de passer par les départementales. A Strazeele la route domine la Flandre intérieure, aucun obstacle ne perturbe le regard.
Even more obscure than the 375 is the 347, which operates just four off-peak Monday-Saturday return journeys on a two-hourly frequency between Romford Station and Ockendon Station, just over the border with Thurrock. Operating over several roads that have no other bus service, the route commenced in November 2004 and replaced a mobility bus route.
Since October 2005 the route has been operated by Blue Triangle of Rainham, since acquired by the Go-Ahead Group. Enviro200 SE24, with Go-Ahead fleetnumber but still carrying old-style Blue Triangle fleetname, approaches Romford Station to work the 14.00 departure to Ockendon on Monday 24th June 2013.
Oct. 23, 2021: Stop at the California Route 66 Museum in Victorville, California. This museum opened in 1995 in the former 5,000 square foot Red Rooster Cafe building. The exhibits are constantly changed. After closure from Covid-19, the California Route 66 Museum is open Friday thru Sunday. One fun fact: The Red Rooster Cafe was used for filming the 1980 movie, "The Jazz Singer" starring Neil Diamond.
