1972 Leyland National Single Decker – Action Buses, Canberra

1972 Leyland National Single Deck.

ACTION Buses of Canberra.

Government operated bus services for the general public in Canberra commenced on the 19th July 1926. The Federal Capital Commission operated four buses on different routes between Ainslie in the north and Eastlake in the south. Seventy Leyland National 10.9m buses arrived in Canberra between 1974 and 1975 to meet the demands of new routes and improved timetables.

By 1977 the nation’s capital had a comprehensive metropolitan system and was re-branded ACTION, which is an acronym for: Australian Capital Territory Internal Omnibus Network.
