History
[ edit ]
Leichhardt Tram Depot was built as a twelve road depot on the corner of William Street and Derbyshire Road, Leichhardt , being available for use on 22 June 1915. It was never used as an operational tram depot, instead being used to store trams.[1] [2]
It was converted to a bus depot in 1937.[3] [4] Chullora Bus Workshops opened in 1958.[5] [6] Sydney Bus Museum occupies the northern bays after its relocation from Tempe Bus Depot .[7] [8] [9] [10]
The depot is also home to the Roads & Maritime Services barrier transfer machine that moves the central barrier on Victoria Road between the Gladesville and Iron Cove Bridges .[11]
As part of the contracting out of region 6 , operation of Leichhardt depot passed from State Transit to Transit Systems on 1 July 2018.[12]
As of March 2024, it has an allocation of 204 buses.[13]
