Title: Photo of the Month - April 2010
Post by: Buzz Killington on March 21, 2010, 02:52:25 PM
While some may think that Trolleybusracer's recent photograph (http://actbus.net/forum/index.php?topic=2332.0) was possibly an appropriate choice for at least the first day of April, we need a photo for the whole month.

Get your nominations in by midnight Thursday (25th). Two photos per member. We'll go to a vote after that.

Two of my rainy day photos, however I am very sure I will not be able to compete with 464 Media Launch photos which I think will win the rounds this month.

On a very wet Canberra day, BUS-345 a Scania L94UB CNG travels along Sulwood Drive on a 313 Intertown service to Fraser. Due to an accident on the Intertown route along Athllon Drive, buses were diverted through Kambah with a few travelling as far as Sulwood Drive (Kambah) to meet up with Athllon Drive. This bus also displays the new ActewAGL Pod-vertising, this is the black wrap around version.

BUS-783 a Renault/MACK PR100.2 is seen negotiating the Anzac Parade/Limestone Ave roundabout on a wet Canberra day on a route 757 Xpresso to Gungahlin, of which looking down the two Parliament Houses can be viewed. Anzac Parade is currently being re-laid, and as the road base is dug up on the East Bound side of the road, all traffic is diverted to the westbound lanes.

A note to those who only used one of their votes - if you would like to cast a second vote you need to click "remove vote" and then vote again (selecting two options)
