History
Ryde Bus Depot opened on 28 June 1953, the same day that Ultimo Tram Depot closed.[1] It initially took over the operation of these routes, which were a combination of tram replacement routes and existing services operated by Burwood Bus Depot:[2]
- 400 Ryde - Circular Quay
- 401 Balmain - York Street City
- 404 Ryde - Circular Quay via Central station
- 405 Drummoyne - Central station
- 406 Drummoyne - Circular Quay
- 407 Balmain - Central station
- 410 Chiswick - Central station
- 411 Chiswick - Circular Quay
- 413 Pyrmont - Central station
In December 1999 Sydney Buses purchased the business of North & Western Bus Lines whose depot adjoined.[3] After initially operating as Gladesville depot, both were integrated. However because of the topography of the land, both remain physically separated with each having its own entrance.[4]
In January 2022 it was included in the transfer of Region 7 from State Transit to Busways.[5]
As of February 2026, it has an allocation of 258 buses.[6]
