The bus
-  
KMB was the only customer for the Albion Victor VT23L and 100 examples were received during 1963/64. The 41-seat bodywork was delivered as ckd kits from Metal Sections. They featured two doorways, both of which were immediately behind each nearside wheelarch, and the tubular sliding gates were operated by the conductor.

AD7087 was first registered om 30th June 1964. Folding doors replaced the sliding gates later in life, and several vehicles had their rear entrance/exit panelled over, to avoid possible fare-dodging with the introduction of one man operation. It was withdrawn in June 1982.
