Someone at RATEC requested for me to include a new blue bus, so that'll be an extra requirement for this round.

The same rules still apply to each round even if I don't mention them.
If no one else contributes close to the due date, I will accept secondary entries.

I've waited long enough for others.

The answer is Cowper St, Ainslie. But not "Ainslie Terminus", since there's insufficient evidence that it was used as a bus terminus. Stop number can be provided if required.

Correct, and once again one of those that shouldn't be in the terminus section of the gallery if it isn't technically a terminus. However, I have shown this to other people and they recognised it as being one, so yeah, who can you trust anymore?...

Based on the ACT Heritage Register background information {PDF} (http://www.environment.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0011/821819/Background-Information-Historic-Timber-Bus-Shelters-of-the-ACT.pdf), this was used as a terminus / driver toilet between 1937 and mid-1940s. So it does qualify as a former terminus, even though it was one for only 10 years at most.

But I've moved its photos into the "Heritage Shelters" album for consistency.

I'll be sure to fully check out that link a little later on, as I had a skimp over it last week and it looked intriguing.
