The bus, manufactured 85 years ago, is a heritage asset of [[Nizam's Guaranteed State Railway|Nizam State Rail and Road Transport Department]] (NSR-RTD). Till the early 1970s, the department used to run the 'Deccan Queen'. Along with 26 other [[Albion Motors|Albion]] buses, it formed part of the [[Nizam's Guaranteed State Railway]] (NGSR). All of them had a seating capacity of 19 and were imported from London to cover the 400-km road network in the areas falling under the [[Hyderabad State (1948–56)|Hyderabad]] ruler's jurisdiction.<br />
