On 18 April 2019 light rail began carrying members of the Canberra public along light rail stage one from Gungahlin to Civic.

Several PTCBR members attended and were fortunate to be invited to the launch and the lunch. This post has lots of photos of the days events, and a few links to local media coverage.
