Post by: Irisbus Rider on May 18, 2009, 10:12:24 PM
Oh, you'd all better sing that song on the Sunday! Imagine the mood, huddled, with candles, swaying, and wiping a tear away. Ohhhhhhhh......

Yes, here are a few photos to celebrate? Or to commererate the closing of Belconnen Interchange, and generally, a few more snaps around Belconnen;

Firstly, the Interchange entry, what a unforgettable journey, here are a few photos in the morning sun;

Renault PR100.3 992 in a special livery for Canberras sister City, entering the Belconnen Bus Interchange.

The oldest rigid in service, Renault PR100.2 MkI 752 heading into the Interchange.

A few photos from Lathlain St, as once the new bus stations are finished, and in service, this portion of Lathlain St will no longer be serviced by buses;

Sweet Sweet Irisbus 315, on a 'diverted' 312. The 312 used to use the Busway, as most know, but now uses Lathlain St, for a limited time only though.

Thats Vitality, apparently, Renault PR100.2 MkII 872 operating a 16. And yes, the bus still gives me the creeps, lol.

Great photos John. Love the ones of 752 and the two MANs on the corner of Haydon Dr.

You even managed to make 872 look half decent  :pop:
