==Notes==
==Notes==
* Bus 319 is named "Big Merv" after a deceased long-time driver for ACTION. It is signed on the rear of the vehicle, as well as having a sticker just above the inside of the windscreen, above the driver.
* Since delivery, Bus 963 has been in special livery for ACTION. A common misconception is that the bus (along with sister units [[BUS 967|967]] and [[BUS 971|971]]) advertises the National Dinosaur Museum, however the dinosaur skeletons that make up the livery actually encourage people to "Take ACTION (to) conserve our fossil fuels"
* Bus 319 was transferred from Belconnen to Tuggeranong in September 2006. It has since returned.
* In July 2016, its Alcatel/STC Cannon flip-dot destination signs were replaced with Hanover LED equipment.
* There are three differing emergency exit layouts on the Agora Lines. Bus 319 has the emergency exit windows offset from each other. The offside exit is one window further forward than the nearside exit window.
* In October 2017, its Mobitec ICU400 destination controller was replaced with a Hanover DG3.
* This vehicle was originally fitted with a Sportworks DL2 bike rack
** In January 2018 it was fitted with a VeloPorter 2 model bike rack. It has previously been fitted with DL2 and VeloPorter 2 models.
* In July 2018, its Mobitec flip-dot destination displays were replaced by Hanover LED displays.
* On 24 May 2019, Bus 319 collided with a car at Alinga St / West Row. (refer [http://actbus.net/forum/index.php?topic=1362.msg44992#msg44992 ACT Bus Forum])
** It was repaired and returned to service on 6 June 2019 with a new DL2 (black handle) model bike rack replacing the VeloPorter 2 rack.
* As at July 2020, its bike rack is a Sportworks DL2.

Bus 963 is a Renault PR100.2 based at Belconnen Depot. It is painted in a special livery - "Conserve our fossil fuels".

Notes

  • Since delivery, Bus 963 has been in special livery for ACTION. A common misconception is that the bus (along with sister units 967 and 971) advertises the National Dinosaur Museum, however the dinosaur skeletons that make up the livery actually encourage people to "Take ACTION (to) conserve our fossil fuels"
  • In July 2016, its Alcatel/STC Cannon flip-dot destination signs were replaced with Hanover LED equipment.
