ACTION and Various Coaches (A Wet Friday)

[Sir Pompously]

ACTION

BUS-940 a Renault/MAC PR100.2mkII is seen turning from Parkes Way to Kings Ave after negotiating the Kings Ave/Parkes Way overpass roadworks. BUS-940 is fitted with Saydair Seating, and is the only PR100.2 to have Saydair seats.


BUS-345 a Scania L94UB CNG is seen on an Intertown 313 service, running behind Kambah on Sulwood Drive (Sulwood being the original name of the Kambah property). Normally Intertown Services run via Athllon Drive, however due to an accident ACT Policing had blocked off the road preventing Northbound Intertown services from taking the normal route. BUS-345 also displays one of the new ActewAGL CNG Pod Adverts


BUS-783 a Renault/MACK PR100.2mkI is seen turning onto Limestone Ave (Named for the Limestone Plains, an original name for the district) after negotiating roadworks on Anzac Parade. Westbound lanes are currently closed to allow for a total reconstruction of the roadbase, so all vehicles must cross the median to the eastbound lanes, then follow the eastbound lanes to then again cross to enter the roundabout.


BUS-133 a Dennis Dart SLF with a Wright (Ireland) body is seen turning onto Kings Ave from Parkes Way


A Renault/MAC PR100.2 heads up Kings Ave towards Russell Drive. The Russell signage is typical of Canberra, which has location signage for Town Centres and most suburbs at the boundries on main roads. This is one of the older, wooden style. The Eagle perched and looking over the triangle is the Australian-American Monument

Some excellent photography there - especially 783 on Anzac Parade....misty effects look great.

Very, very well done. The conditions were perfect!

Love the close-up of the old Russell sign!

Northern Ireland actually. Part of the United Kingdom. Not to be confused with the Republic of Ireland.
