I shot this the day after Thanksgiving 2012 while on a short Route 66 jaunt with my wife and brother. It was a fun day trip. Wish it didn't take me 10 months to get to these. As I look back, a couple months before this, my computer was running poorly for about three weeks. And then it was in and out of the repair shop another three weeks. I shot close to 1,000 pictures while the computer was down. I have been struggling to get caught up since!

This 2013 New Flyer XD40 on the Route 2 is about to arrive at the Santa Rosa Transit Center. As it was headed inbound, it let the cleaners know that a mess of sorts had been made in the back of the bus and needed cleaning.

Halifax Transit 2017 NovaBus LFS #1244 is seen on route 68 normally stops at bridge terminal now going to downtown.
Although route 280 was a commercially operated town service running entirely in West Sussex, it too was affected by Surrey CC Bus Review phase 2.
It interworked with route 281 (and was actually therefore usually a double decker). Buses arriving at Stone Quarry Estate on the 281 had excessive time to kill as they had to delay the return to Crawley to maintain the combined frequency with the 291 from Tunbridge Wells.
Therefore they looped round various parts of East Grinstead as route 280, never really carrying any passengers.
With the Surrey CC-induced changes to the 409, route 281 was extended from Stone Quarry to Lingfield (to replace the East Grinstead - Worsted Farm - Stone Quarry - Dormansland - Lingfield section of the 409), and therefore the 280 was dropped, without replacement.
Metrobus Scania OmniCity 547 (YN05 HCC) is seen here in High Street heading for Stone Quarry.
The Surrey CC bus review would give this bus a new role, it was one of four allocated to and branded for the 400, a new route as a result of the review.

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.

As part of a new contract commencing on Saturday 30th April, route 62 is being converted to double deck to increase capacity in an area on London where the population is set to grow substantially in the next few years. The phased conversion has already commenced using brand-new ADL Enviro400 MMCs, whihch means that the days of the unusual Oprate Versas which have latterly been concentrated on this route are numbered.
In a scene soon to disappear, 28311 is seen turning from London Road into Linton Road in Barking Town Centre on Friday 22nd April. Small numbers of these decidedly non-standard buses where purchased by the East London Bus Group under Macquarie Bank ownership, before Stagecoach bought back its London operations in 2010 for a fraction of the price it sold them for four years earlier. The Versas are not expected to see further service in London and are likely to be sold out of the Stagecoach group altogether. Although the type will no longer be seen on the streets of East London it won't disappear from the Capital altogether, as RATP Group still operates a number in South-West London.
Bob Waldmire's famous VW bus, a well-known icon of Route 66. Story is with his portrait and links here. He says the VW bus is on a well-earned sabbatical this winter in Arizona. I saw his great old Mustang that are his getting around wheels right now, but alas I had no camera with me at that moment.
My local route has recently lost its Scania Omnicities in favour of the newest Volvo B9TL Wright Geminis, one or two of which have now received branding for the 27 using, it would appear, a slightly brighter blue than hItherto. 487 (BJ63 UJR) shows off the new branding this afternoon, 4th January, 2018.
The contract for route 135 was taken over by Go-Ahead Docklands Buses from Arriva London North on Saturday 23rd May. A temporary allocation of ADL Enviro400s, made spare by the conversion of route 12 to New Routemaster operation, was used initially, but the batch of 14 ADL Enviro400 MMC-bodied Volvo B5LH hybrids have now arrived and are being phased into service at Go-Ahead's Silvertown base. EHV4 is seen at the Crossharbour ASDA terminus on Monday 29th June. The Enviro400s are moving on to the Metrobus base at Beddington (Croydon) where they will displace Scania OmniDekkas for further service in Go-Ahead-owned fleets outside London.

Route 14 started on 8th April 2015. It's a new shoppers service on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, linking the Applegarth Avenue area of Park Barn to the hospital and Guildford town centre on a trial basis.
The service is run by Carlone Buses. Their minibus AE53 ZKF is seen here in Applegarth Avenue on the morning journey, passing the junction with Hunts Close. After passing me, it turned right into Little Platt.
I've no idea where the terminus is, and what the exact route followed is. I'm glad I was paying extra attention and was expecting it to come from any direction!!
Nice to see more Carlones with the new logos on.
UPDATE: Route 14 was withdrawn from 24th July 2017.
