The Bus Preservation Society of Western Australia have a shed out at Whiteman Park & restore old TransPerth/MTT buses to their former glory. Below is a selection of photos from a day they were open.

ECOBUS 2 is a Mercedes Benz Citaro O530BZ & was one of the 2/3 Hydrogen Cell buses that Perth had as a part of a worldwide trial. These buses are weird as it is a low floor through out & wheelchair access was from the rear doors.

Bus 452-Leyland Worldmaster ERT11
Some magnificent vehicles in their collection, thanks for the photos.
I didn't realise they had one of the Hydrogen Mercs in their collection!
2 years ago, all the Ecobuses were being stored at a TransPerth depot (in a special shed-which was when I first saw inside). I have a feeling they may of acquired Ecobus 2 this year.
Yep, they obtained ecobus 2 mid 2009, Ecobus 1 and 3 were scrapped
That's a shame, but having one preserved is better than none!
There isn't a need to preserve them all, I dare say this one will be well looked after.
