“You’re probably aware by 2022
all buses have to be low-floor
accessible, which means that a lot
of the buses still around now and
are going to go for scrap because
there’s no market for them. So we’re
trying to grab a few more now
because if we don’t get them they’ll
be gone forever. The problem is
there is no market for the high-floor
buses now,” Chechlacz said.
The museum has a storage
facility at Marsden Park that can
only take single-deckers, so they
rotate the exhibits around from
here at Leichardt to Marsden Park
every couple of months to refresh
the displays.
Space is a real problem for the
growing collection, though.
Actually, if there are any
operators that have undercover
accommodation and are passionate
about old buses the museum would
be very interested to hear from you.
It could be a great showpiece for
your business; who knows?
