Bus 361 has had some panels fixed up, but not repainted yet.




EDIT: BUS NUMBER FIXED UP.

I think you will find that is 361. The fact that they sent that out is woeful, it looks so dodge, but it does say one thing, Tuggeranong are really short on buses....

Alot of companies will send out buses in such a manner until they have time to repaint the panel.

Saw 312 hoisted up on the back of the tow truck at Commonwealth Ave Albert Hall bus stop, ready to depart for Belconnen.

848 And 990 are both out with mechanics. 988 is operating the 710 that usually gets a dart.

Would this affect Bus 490 & Buses 464-470?

Yes. Apparently mechanics are now refusing to work on 490, don't expect to see it back for a while now.

The breakdown van attended to Bus 421 at City West this afternoon.


Bus 791 has been literally taped up. With silver tape covering up parts of the bus, surely ACTION can't be that desperate to keep Bus 791 on the road.

Bus 933 was on the side of the road at LSBS with hazards in.

Bus 423 had a seat back fall off.

Bus 867 is at the back of Belconnen Workshop with heavy front end damage. I keep on thinking it is another bus number so am happy for confirmation.

404 was missing the red stop button thing from near the back of the bus... and two of the back seats sounded like they were about to rattle off.... and the screen was stuck half way through changing screens. (yesterday)

Dead Dart on Athllon: Saw 140 sitting on Athllon Drive @ 1105 this morning, blinkers blinking, engine bay open, passengers contemplating the meaning of life in the Spring sunshine and the bus going nowhere.

390 was in at Tuggeranong Depot this morning in preparation for some VIP event requiring it to be refulled, washed and detailed at Tuggeranong;  one of the Steer Tags was receiving similar treatment.

390 appeared to be back in revenue service this afternoon.

304 was on the back of the tow truck. Have also heard that 927, 305 and 410 have all had their issues the past day or 2. Also 419 had an incident this morning.

Saw that yesterday as well, however some drivers wait like that until it is their time to go to the Platform as there is not really any bus parking in the City Interchange of an afternoon & it holds other buses up on Platform 8 if you are too early. Sometimes the line of buses waiting for/using Platform 8 can go across the road. This could be why some Gungahlin services won't extend to the City in peak times next Network.

Bus 404 has broken down at the southbound Floriade stop. It looks like the driver has kneeled the bus down & now the bus doesn't want to go back up.

EDIT: Bus 404 was spotted on a northbound run 90 minutes later.

There was an Irisbus dead on Hindmarsh Dr east bound near the cross with with Melrose Drive about 9am this morning. Both a maintenance truck and supervisors van in attendance. Wasn't close enough (or couldn't be bothered walking close enough) to get a fleet number, but it had an LED desto.

Bus 999 has had a slight livery change so that the blue line around the bottom of the bus goes right around the back. That red & yellow hash thing has also gone.

Yes, that bus is the reason why 867 has a fresh front.
