Hey Guys,
Belconnen Interchange is now officially closed, with Temporary Fencing being placed up around the entrances to the Interchange at around 8:30 this evening.
BUS-300 operated the last service, with a few members on the bus and at the interchange to see it in. Those on the bus decorated it with Images that Zac, John and I had taken which I grabbed from the ACT BUS Gallery, along with one's found in the ACT BUS Gallery by RATEC, of the Interchange under construction. These, of course, were credited and had a link to the site. Along with this, Information posters were also hung with basic information about the closure, a brief history and various images located at the bottom. A few people grabbed those that were onboard, and I will create a PDF Version that Ryan can hopefully place on the site so people can take a look. Photo's to come, I have to work early tomorrow morning so not tonight but tomorrow I will have them up.
I saw the bus at Tuggeranong Interchange & it looked quite interesting. It even appeared if some members of the public were approaching you guys asking about the pictures. I ended up finishing my shift ay 19:55 & made it to Belconnen Interchange, just as Bus 300 left for the Depot.
Thanks for the wrap-up Todd, and if you'd like to send me that PDF it would be appreciated :)

Firstly, It's NOT your shift!
You are correct there were a lot of members of the general public that were interested in the posters. Some were taking pictures of the posters even, and there was a guy that walked around the bus and had a good look.
I trust the ACT Bus name was pimped to an appropriate level!
Yeah it was on basically all of the pictures.
Nice.. hopefully some of those passengers Get on Board
