Willoughby Bus Depot is a bus depot in the Sydney suburb of Willoughby operated by Busways.

History

Willoughby Bus Depot opened on 1 July 1958 on the site of a former tannery. It operated routes, which were a combination of tram replacement routes and existing services operated by North Sydney Bus Depot.[1][2]

In January 2022 it was included in the transfer of Region 7 from State Transit to Busways.[3]

In 2023, the bus depot was planned to be converted to electric charging technology to accommodate a new fleet of electric buses as part of the Zero Emissions Bus Program.[4]

As of April 2026, it has an allocation of 122 buses.[5][6]
