The goal of this design for the Buffet inside of the Route 66 Casino, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was to create an oasis amidst the desert with particular Route 66 design elements merged in. The design shows custom carpet in a roadway pattern, which leads through the buffet past various food venues and several multi-faceted angular rock formations that give the impression of a quiet canyon. Other décor elements such as artificial aspen trees in autumns colors, curving woven steel curtains suspended from the ceiling which give the impression of a cascading waterfall, custom mica chandeliers and more were added to tie into the traditional look of Route 66.

Route 66 goes through 8 states. The Mother Road starts in Chicago and ends in Santa Monica, California
With the conversion of route 453 to New Routemaster operation during November/December 2014, 30 surplus Enviro400s are moving from Mandela Way Depot to Camberwell Garage where they seem to be used mostly on routes 68 (Euston-West Norwood) and 468 (Elephant & Castle-South Croydon). E181 is seen at Elephant & Castle Station on Monday 8th December.
The E400s are displacing a similr number of WVL-class Wright Gemini/Volvo B7TL. Twelve are going to Metrobus at Orpington to replace Scania OmniDekkas, whilst the rest are being dispersed to various G-Ahead London garages to cover spares and increased PVRs.
Back in 1986 when the line from Tonbridge to Bopeep Junction at St.Leonards was electrified it spelt the end for the unique Hastings line DEMU's built to loading gauge zero because of the restricted tunnel clearances on the route. It also saw the closure of the cross country route from Tunbridge Wells to Eridge.
Local staff and British Rail produced several badges for staff associated with the route to wear. These badges produced in small numbers commemorated the passing of the old order and arrival of the new.
The badge top left was produced to mark the opening of the route to electric traction. While the one top right maked the sad closure of the Eridge line the year before. This line was closed to allow the mainline to be electrified as it was said at the time money couldn't be justified for a new junction at Grove and providing electrification through to Eridge. The Hastings line was electrified on the cheap with only two new sub stations instead of the three required. This meant south of Tunbridge Wells trains would be restricted to 8-cars only as 12-car formations would exceed the lines current index. Add to that the branch to Eridge and it was never going to survive without the third sub station or replacement stock.
The third badge (bottom) marked the closure of West Marina as a traincrew depot. It did however remain as a carriage servicing shed. The 1986 electrification saw the amalgamation of two depots on the Coast namely Ore and West Marina which moved to Hastings. The biggest loser being Tunbridge Wells West depot which shut with work moved to Norwood and Tonbridge.

In 1990 the majority of Melbourne's outer suburban feeder routes were operated under contract by independent operators, providing a wide variety of both vehicle types and liveries. Sita Coaches was prominent in the Footscray/Moonee Ponds area.
Here is a photography I took while travelling America. This was taken on my Fujifilm X100T while visiting Seligman, Route 66. I found America to beautiful and interesting and got to see areas that I would have never seen otherwise.

Since 2003 I have been a fan of Route 66 and traveled many miles in my 1965 Pontiac Parisienne Convertible.
I have been creating this artwork since my first run on the route where I searched for memorable tokens of my trip. I hope to meet you on the route soon.
Safe travels!!!
Busy route 49 transferred from London United to Abellio London's Battersea Garage from Saturday 6th September. The route serves areas of inner West and South West London that have traditionally been poorly linked by rail, and although these have improved recently with the arrival of London Overground and a new station at Shepherd's Bush, the presence of Westfield Shopping Centre has ensured that business remains buoyant.
New '64'-registered ADL Enviro400H hybrids were delivered for the route, with most entering service on other Battersea-operated routes during the preceding week in order to identify and iron out any minor niggles. 2480 is seen again on Freiday 26th September, this time negotiating Shepherd's Bush Roundabout en-route to Clapham Junction.

I took Historic Route 66 from Kingman, Arizona to Needles, California. Lots of great motels, gas stations, and signs offered fun photo ops.

Basingstoke-based Stagecoach Hampshire Dart 35256 (GX56 OGG) enters The Meadows car park from Marshall Road, on a service 10 journey bound for Camberley.
The hourly Basingstoke - Camberley number 10 (previously no. 200) service was curtailed at Odiham in October 2011, breaking the link. New route 100 started as a result connects with the revised service at Hook, but it only runs three times a day, Monday to Friday.

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.
Route 245 is currebtly being converted from single to double-deck operation, using buses displaced from route 24's conversion to New Bus for London. However the Volvo B9TL/Wright Gemini 2s are very similar to those already used on route 83 from the same garage, Alperton, and it is one of the latter which is seen resting at Golders Green Bus Station in between runs. It is one of the few buses still carrying the fleetnames and vehicle number (VN37799) of its former owner. The Enviro200 behind is also on route 245, showing that on Wednesday 7th August at least the double-decking was still a work in progress.
The conversion was made possible by Metroline's acquisition of route 245 and its operating base, Alperton Garage, from First London on 22nd July 2012; and is an early by-product of the merger. The vehicles are very similar to those allocated to route 83 from the same Garage, and the two batches appear to be mixed in practice. The interlopers are however instantly recognisable as they have blue dashboard panels instead of grey, and they have been fitted with the new standard white-on-black blinds.
