Route 331 : Ruislip Station (B) - Uxbridge, Belmont Road (D) via Mount Vernon Hospital & Harefield
📍 Ruislip Station (Stand)
Bus 800 was the last of the 1948 GM coaches purchased. Shown here on Clarks Lane at Poplar Level Road on the Hill Street bus route, it was one of two of these buses retrofitted with turn signals!
Arriva Kent & Surrey are coming off route 32 (Guildford - Redhill) on Saturday 30th May 2015. They have run it since the demise of Tillingbourne in 2001. Compass Bus will take over the service from Monday 1st June 2015. The Sunday service, run by Buses Excetera, is unaffected.
I thought I'd raid the archives and post some older photos as well.
3943 (GK52 YVJ) is seen leaving Dorking station, with a 32 for Guildford. Perhaps not quite such an 'oldie,' as you could still see 3943 in this state today (2015)...
...however, the service 21 bus behind it is definitely history - the route having been withdrawn in September 2012 as part of phase 3 of Surrey CC's bus review. 3940 (GK52 YVE) is doing the honours on that, bound for Strood Green.

Route E7 : Ruislip Station (B)- Ealing Broadway Station / Haven Green (A)

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.
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.
A summer monsoon storm boils with convection and lightning east of Flagstaff on August 14, 2014 while traffic on Route 66 lights up the road and surroundings.
The image is a stack of 3 images to smooth noise in the sky and add up lightning and traffic.
Sadly, I got in a rush and left the aperture at f/9, so the star field isn't nearly as rich as it could have been.
Metrobus 747 on route 284 in Verdent Lane, this is Hither Green, over that wall is the cemetery of the same name.

Coming tomorrow, our fantastic adventures on ROUTE 66!!!
(Here I sit perusing maps at the Route 66 Museum in Joliet, Illinois, where we hooked up with the Road. Obviously, Hubby took the picture, and yes, my hair is a bit flat. Who cares? It's ROUTE 66!!! OH MY GOSH!!!!)
Oh, one more thing...My mom is really sick again. She can eat all right now, which is great, because before, she couldn't eat anything at all and has lost 40 pounds in only a few months. However, she is having a lot of difficulty getting to sleep still, and there are still some stomach issues. The doctors are being unsurprisingly useless (dear doctors: look at your PATIENTS, not just numbers on a chart! Hello? We're all individuals!). So if you could say a prayer or send peaceful thoughts, we'd appreciate it.
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.

I have driven through the desert southwest one too many times. Used to be, a man could get lost there, then find himself. There must be something in the dirt and sand, but all I could find was cactus.
