Since the ACTION website has yet to display what (if any) services ACTION are providing to the Show, I thought I'd look at the RNCAS website. Here's what it says. Spot the errors (or if you prefer, spot what's not in error):

No mention of red rapid! Mention of  Belconnen Interchange...I am sure there are other errors there

The 300 series doesn't operate on weekends...

For those who are after *accurate* information on how to get the bus to the show, you'll find it here.

For the artic spotters, they'll be doing shuttles on the weekend.

It looks like someone from the RNCAS has been informed of the mistakes on the website & these have been fixed.

For those going to the show (or wondering where 433 has gone) ACTION have a display at the show featuring 433.

The ACT Bus article is still better. The RNCAS website doesn't mention 50, 56, 57, 58 on Friday.

Saw that, didn't get photos though

Here are a few photos of Bus 433 being used as the MyWay example bus, the MyWay Informant informed me he grabbed this bus before it went into service.






Also can anyone tell me when was the last year ACTION provided the people mover service around the top end of EPIC? I last remember seeing Darts 3-4 years ago, but was surprised to see Keirs mini buses on the loop.
