Canberra trip (Part 3)

Post by Bidgee »

Part 3.

ACTION (BUS 349) - Custom Coaches 'CB60' bodied Scania L94UB (CNG) and a Toyota Hiace Commuter (213-104), in the first photo.

Doonkuna Street bus shelter in Reid.

Roadcoach (TV 4264) - Autobus bodied Scaina (K????) at Canberra Railway Station at Kingston.
Image
Image

Transborder (MO 212 [ACT]) - Autobus bodied Volvo B12B 13.6m also at Canberra Railway Station.
Image

Monaro Coaches - Look to be like two Dennings but since they on private property, I wasn't going to trespass to get a better shot
Image

Also at the same location are these buses, the first bus to the right looks it may be a ex Fearnes (Fearnes did remove the doors on some of them with a few having a window added).

The property is actually apart of the railway yards, with that little section leased from ARTC or the ACT Government I think (The land itself was once apart of Commonwealth Railways, so it would probably be ARTC), so heading in there I think would still be a no no. However if you did decide to take a look in, the old Trackfast office used to be good. Still had fittings, counters and signs when I looked about 10 years ago and still has the signs on the outside when I took a look from a distance a few months ago.

Nice photos. Love the Scania shots, do you know what the vehicle was doing out on Anzac Parade at that time of day?

Well if there is a chain-linked/cyclone fence then you know it is a no-no (that is my opinion). I did see an old Commonwealth Railways sign.

349 was doing the Russell Shuttle after the National Ceremony at the AWM but I think it ended up doing a dead/empty run, though I missed getting a photo of a bendy by a few seconds! :(

I would have to say the single deck coach of Monaro's is a Tourmaster

That particular CR Sign is the only one I can find intact along the line. There are signs all the way up to Fyshwick, however none (That I can find) have the writing anymore and have little paint left on them.

Thanks for the info re-349!
