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.
SOE22, an Optare Esteem-bodied ADL Enviro200 Dart, is seen at Liverpool Street Station on Thursday 28th January.
During January 2016 the East Lancs Mylennium-bodied Scania OmniTowns, that had served the route since new in the Summer of 2002, were replaced by Esteem-bodied Darts that have themselves been displaced from Merton and Sutton area routes by new Enviro200s. Most of the Scanias have moved on to Trustybus of Harlow for further service, but a few remain with Go-Ahead London as driver trainers.
The Enviro200 Darts may prove to be only a temporary measure, as there is currently a proposal to extend route 42 beyond its current terminus at Denmark Hill to East Dulwich Sainsbury's. If this goes ahead, the route would also be converted to double-deck at the same time. Although double-deckers have been used in the past, Sunray Avenue in Denmark Hill - which would no longer be served if the extension goes ahead - has a number of overhanging trees and a single-deck allocation is specified to minimise the risk of tree damage.
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.

Today I took the Goldwing out for a run along old route 66. It was really windy and as usual, no one around. So I took out my toy to play a bit. This weekend I am going to Juarez for a little visit, I will be packing, my camera that is.
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!
U.S. Route 66, (also known as Route 66 or The Will Rogers Highway) was a highway in the U.S. Highway system. One of the original federal routes, US 66 was established on November 11, 1926, though signs did not go up until the following year.[1] It originally ran from Chicago, Illinois through St. Louis, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California before ending at Los Angeles for a total of 2,448 miles (3,939 km).
Route 66 underwent many improvements and realignments. Most of those affected the total mileage somewhat. One of those resulted in the movement of the endpoint from Los Angeles to Santa Monica. Contrary to common belief Route 66 never ran to the ocean but it terminated onto what was US-101 then at the intersection of what is today Lincoln Boulevard and Olympic Boulevard.
Route 66 was a major migratory path west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, and supported the economies of the communities through which the road passed. People became prosperous due to the growing popularity of the highway, and those same people later fought to keep the highway alive even with the growing threat of the new Interstate Highway System.
US 66 was officially decommissioned (that is, officially removed from the United States Highway System) on June 27, 1985[2] 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, 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.
This is a view of the router and modem mounted beneath the desk surface. Used 18 gauge wire to secure them to the pegboard. The wooden block was wood-glue to the undersurface of the desk to slightly elevate the main desk surface. I then screwed the leg mounts to these blocks.

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.

The hodge pogded duplicator is exceeding my expectations. Gas and water pipes, plus a few welds are basic off-the-shelf bits. The X and Z co-ordinance are achieved by sliding back and forth (foot lever bar via bicycle cables) / up and down (hand controlled), while the Y co-ordinance is controlled by pushing the trolley left and right. The black hull master dictates where the stylist tracks, while the router cuts the hull from wood laminations. This tool should shave off a lot of time, so that a rough blank can be readied for sanding.
This Route 66 sticker was on one of the Packard cars at the Packard Museum. It just begged to be Orton-ized. B-)
Here's what I do:
Image/Apply Image - 100% blending - Screen
Duplicate Image
Apply Gaussian blur; generally around 42-45 pixels
Move tool; use the shift to drag the blurred image to the original
Multiply the layers, then Ctrl-E to flatten.
