The organisation also operate a transportation museum and education centre for public benefit located in the suburb of Leichhardt, in Sydney, Australia. The museum is open to the public on the first and third Sunday of each month.[1]
The museum restores, maintains, displays and operates over 80 buses and support vehicles from the 1920s to 2000s. This mainly includes both single-decker and double-decker buses from Sydney and regional NSW, including both government and privately operated vehicles. The collection also includes double-decker buses from Hong Kong and London.[2] It also provides buses for historical events,[3] and has also had buses appear in film and photo shoots.[4]
