On Monday 23 January, QCity will become CDC Canberra (mentioned on their new website). But also the Queanbeyan bus network will be shaken up.

Has Roads ACT or Transport Canberra told QCity that they can't use Turner Layover?

This would have been the perfect opportunity for them to move out of City West.

A number of the PDF timetables on the TfNSW website for Queanbeyan from 23 January are curious. An example is Route 831, noting the PDF may change after the time I am posting this - so some example screenshots below.


Trip notes for reference with the below;


Example timetable page.

It looks like the PDF includes both the current network trips, and the new 23 January network trips, merged together. Those marked "M-Th" appear to be the new network, i.e. route extension to Karabar. Those marked "Tu-Th" appear to be the current network trips. There are no trips on Friday, Saturday or Sunday/Holiday. Sometimes I know these timetables show a date range that doesn't include certain days, although this one just shows "Valid from: 23 Jan 2023", which indicates a seven-day file. Separately, the departure at Woden is shown as Platform 1, which is technically correct - for one week. From the 30th, CDC Canberra routes move to (the new) Platform 6 as per TC advice.

Route 830 is even worse, showing Monday only trips mixed in.

Queanbeyan Network map shows the new approach for the 831 via Easty Street. Sounds like timetables jumbled up when they tried to release early.
