The Scania artics which ACTION are receiving are Scania K360UAs with Custom Coaches CB80 bodywork built in Adelaide.

We now have 5 new Scania artics in Canberra BUS 506 as I'm sure you all know is on the road and Buses 507-509 are in Belco workshops being prepaired for service BUS 510 is still being stored at Woden depot. I also noticed a Renault artic BUS 720 at Woden depot with no plates along with a few standards
