AM1 (BJ352) was the one and only Duple Dominant
bodied Albion EVK55CL midibus purchased by CMB in 1974. It was put on route
5C together with SM1 (BH106) for service during the mid-1970s, but was
soon allocated as a spare bus due to its low capacity. This bus has been
used as a wedding bus by CMB on a number of occasions before it was withdrawn,
and it is now waiting for possible restoration in a private car yard near
Kam Tin, as seen in the photograph below.
