Network 2010

[400:D]

What??

Wait I'll say it again, when I am travelling from Northbourne Av. If I need to go to GMP the 51,52,56,57,58,59 and the 200 all go via flemington road? That better?

[Barry Drive]

HASTUS Timetable print-out at bus stops still refers to "City Inter", "Tugg Inter" not Bus Station.

Blue Rapid bollards look very ACTION 1970s retro with the mainly blue and orange color scheme.

Curious to see the combined red and green caps on the Constitution Ave bollards where the Red Rapid and the Green Line share the same route (CIT).

[CNG]

I have noticed alot of the artic shifts are now .3 shifts in this network. I know this dose not fit with the thread however do the new shifts have any bus changes i.e.
std
27- 6.30
26- 7.15
MEAL
EURO
318 9.14
313 12.00
314 2.30
Artic
s/r 823 3.40

A picture of that bollard can be found on Page 2 of this thread.

Thanks Bus 400. Will take a closer look at that National Circuit combo tomorrow. Good pics.

And an amendment, the 14 which commences at Radford College at 3.40p is not listed to service the Belconnen Bus Stations, travelling to the first timing point directly. This may be an error, but this is unlikely, as a 314 service travels through the bus stations just minutes prior.

The online (html) timetable shows this route travelling throught the Belconnen Stations at 3.45 - 3.51, so the printed timetable is probably in error.

Is it just me or does the Woden desto on some buses look like Hoden?

[Sir]

Saw two diffrent buses with the desto:
Not in service 110
Or as my friend said it looked liked:
Hot in service 110

What is this 110 and why can't action use a better font?

[Snorzac]

The font is better than the last one! 110 is the code to put not in service up, someone just doesn't know how to program it properly.

On another note has anyone noticed the fail with the 59 desto in the Mk IIs?

I haven't noticed that yet, but I did see a Route 8 this afternoon operating as "CITY / via Lyneham 110".  :pop:

And the 907 desto in the MAN's (and Scanias and what not that also have these boards) has an incorrect spelling of Tillyard Drive unfortunately, with only one 'l'.

[smitho]

Saw one of the Iris buses with the LED destos heading north up Athllon today with a weird looking desto set-up...."300Belconnen" squashed into a small portion of the desto window, and with no spacing between "300" and "Belconnen".

Must have been a rushed job.

[Snorzac]

They don't program it separately to the other Iris's so it is automatically an Epic fail. Given that it is a one off sign they should do one of these two things:
-replace the front LED with a standard dot matrix
-replace front and side with a Hanover LED desto

I mean seriously, who would write a separate program for one bus!

[Sir Pompously]

If the person doing the Desto's was doing them correctly, then yes they would write the program for 311. The problem is the ratio of dots of the LED vs. the dots on a Flipdot.

Have seen some desto's, there is more information (Which is a plus) however I wish they would not use the damn marquee function. The function is stupid, and the font that comes with it is even more ridiculous.

[Bus 400]

Do drivers lefts & rights mention if a run is steer tag approved? I ask as I had a glimpse at the 315 directions & it states steer tag near the top of the page.

That the 59 goes via Forbes (NSW)?

[smitho]

Yes, they do.

[Bus 400]

The timing on the 59 needs a big change. This afternoon I caught the 15:37 service out of City Bus Station. We caught up to the 15:28 service in Amaroo & overtook not long after so we ended up in Belconnen at 16:40 & the 15:28 service arrived at 16:50. Now neither bus had more then a 1/3 full of the bus, with the earlier service being a Dart.

The Gungahlin bound was no different with 2 services meeting up in Amaroo (the same time as us).

[Bus 400]

The online timetables for the 19/319 & 66 have now been updated to reflect the Bonython changes.

[CNG]

When should network 2011 come in?

[Barry Drive]

The road work in East Row is now complete. Expect platforms 3 & 5 to swap soon? Monday at the latest?

[Barry Drive]

Platform swap will occur on Monday 13th.

[King of Buses]

When should network 2011 come in?

I think it said July.

[Bus 400]

Platform swap will occur on Monday 13th.

The Alinga Street & London Circuit bus lanes (for City Bus Station) have also been painted red. I am unsure if the Mort Street entrance is the same, however that is known as the service entrance for the shops within City Bus Station.

[Buzz Killington]

All route listings on ACT Bus have been updated, with school buses being progressively updated this week.

School route listings clearly took longer than I thought.. mainly because I kept putting it off.. but they have now all been updated.

Added Bonus: The Deanes routes missing directions have been updated also.

[Bus 400]

I am wondering if anyone can tell me what route drivers have been instructed to take in relation to the Route 2 from City to Dickson? I ask as the public timetable mentions this route turns right onto Northbourne Avenue & right on to Cooyong Street. However I am noticing that every driver does a loop around the Sydney Building & then go up Mort Street to Cooyong Street.

[Snorzac]

They have been instructed to do the route as mapped, however it is quicker to loop back through the Interchange

[Barry Drive]

They have been instructed to do the route as mapped

No they haven't.

The official route is as described by Bus 400. There are a few drivers who get confused with route 7 which departs from the same stop and then travels to the Canberra Centre. (There is no sensible reason as to why routes 2 and 7 are supposed to go different ways to the same destination.)

[Bus 400]

I suspect it has something to do with the Route 2 double backing on its self. But then by that token, why can't the Route 7 be changed?I did wonder wether having the Route 2 conduct a right turn from Platform 5 onto Northbourne Avenue could be a bit dangerous as the bus would have to either pull up short on the platform or block both lanes & god forbid if you have a row of buses going straight ahead.

[CNG]

I was interested are their still belco shifts that have irisbuses stamped to be used on the 300's or is it only man's and stag's?
