Notes

  • When the route first commenced, it operated from an interchange on Melrose Dr (between Launceston and Theodore Streets). Services operated as 'set down only' between Woden and City, and 'pick up only' from City to Woden.
  • Selected evening services continued to Garran and Hughes via Route 015 (1963)
  • The route was extended to Woden Interchange in December 1972, and to Higgins Interchange in November 1976, where it linked with local feeder services for Belconnen's suburbs.
