Brisbane Transport Museum Open Day and Launch of Bus 958

The August open day at The Brisbane Transport Museum, located at 600 Mains Road, Nathan, will be on Saturday 2 August, between 1pm and 4pm.

We shall be using this open day to mark the relaunch into service of 1985 Denning-bodied MAN SL200 958, which has just been repainted into the Cityxpress livery it wore when new by the team at Royans/Coachworks, thanks to generous sponsorship from Indra Australia Pty Ltd.

The museum is home to the largest display of heritage buses and coaches in Queensland with a current fleet of vehicles spanning the years from 1917 to 1996. The majority of these buses operated for Brisbane City Council and form a significant part of Brisbane’s transport heritage.

The Museum possesses a large collection of rare photos and industry memorabilia that represent over a century of passenger transport history. The majority of these items have not previously been showcased to the public on a permanent basis.

The Museum also features a dedicated Brisbane City Council history display which covers the period from the first buses in 1925 right through to the current state-of-the-art Brisbane Metro vehicles.

Entry fees are $20 for adults, $15 concessions and $10 for children. A family ticket (two adults, two children) is available for $50. EFTPOS facilities available. We also participate in the Companion Card scheme. Parking is available in the Mains Road park and ride, which is adjacent to the museum. TFB routes 130 (Queen Street-Stretton) and 140 (Queen Street-Browns Plains) stop outside the museum, and route 122 (Garden City-Inala) stops nearby.
