The front engined rear entrance double deck motorbus was the mainstay of the Transport Department's fleet from 1928 until the late 1960s. Most of the earliest vehicles had Scottish-built bodies, chassis or both, but later this tendency was less marked.

However, 138 new Albion Venturers went into service between 1947 and 1953, 88 to the pre-war CX19 specification and 50, including B92, of an updated design. Some of these received bodies by Croft of Glasgow.

By 1963 B92 was one of the last Albions in the fleet and as the only remaining example with a Glasgow-built body was set aside for preservation. It appears in the livery used for buses between 1939 and 1959.

B92 is on long-term loan from the Glasgow Museum of Transport
