I've been doing small updates to the History section the past few days, and was we need to update the list of Terminii to reflect the current usage of each location (i.e. which are currently in use as a terminus, which are not in use at all, and which ones are just used as stops)

If anyone would like to look at the list, that'd be great

edit: and if anyone has photos of the ones we are missing..

Sidney Nolan St is the drop-off point, but the routes commence from Box Hill Av. So which one counts?

There's some more errors which could be fixed. Causeway should be considered 'Bus Stop', Farrer is used for 720, Gungahlin now has two terminii in use Hibberson St (outside Marketplace) and Hibberson/Kate Crace - and also two layovers, Kaleen is not in use, Mitchell (cemetery) is not in use, Narrabundah is in use. Can Theodore be considered as a 'bus stop', when many similar former terminii are not?

Buzz Killington

I counted Box Hill over Sidney Nolan because the buses tend to layover there more often since they filled in the ol' dirt patch they used to use on Sidney Nolan.

I'll fix those other errors up, thanks Martin.

Another terminus to add to the list is Fairbairn.......

And another one (now out of use by ACTION) is Oaks Estate....that big shelter not far from Queanbeyan Railway Station

Yes. It is down the bottom of Eggleston Cres, corner of Charteris Cres. It went out of use late 60's/early 70's.

So now we know: it was in 1968 that the Chifley terminus stopped being used.
