Another bus in red livery was this 1937 Waddington bodied Leyland Titan TD4, 1579 (MO1579), seen in service on the special Australia Day CBD loop tour in 2015. The Museum stages the free tours annually. The bus is seen emerging from under the tram bridge at Central Station.

The old Tempe garage was deemed unsafe for continued use as a Museum and workshop open to the public and remedial work was disproportionately expensive. The solution was to move to the old Leichhardt depot, adjacent to the operational depot. With growing numbers of preserved buses and probably a little less space exhibits can be squashed together. Here Regent III 1668 is squeezed next to Titan TD5 1438 and another Regent under restoration beyond.

Red Regent 1688 can be seen again in this December 2003 view inside the Tempe Museum, where space too was at a premium.

This unidentified Albion was undergoing restoration, which presumably will include a roof, at the Tempe Museum in August 2009.

This unidentifiable Leyland Titan is in a special livery. It is believed to be linked to the Sans Sourci Football Club (SSFC). Seen in Tempe in 2009 it is heading a sizeable line up of the Museum's deckers.
