 Alder Valley's seventh National, 107 (KCG607L), like the other early NBC deliveries was delivered much as seen above in all over red with no white band to relieve the blandness. Silver bumpers were also part of the package. The bus is seen in Maidenhead Bus Station. |
 |
 National 104 (LMO226L) is seen in Newbury Bus station alongside an unidentified National. Beyond is 136 (NRD136M) and a pair of ECW bodied Ford R1014s. Bus 104 was one of the first five ordered by Thames Valley, but delivered to Alder Valley. It is seen later in life than 107 above, having acquired a white band and bumpers, but yet to acquire the red and blue double N insignia on a white background. |

 Two former Alder Valley Nationals are seen together in preservation at the Alton Bus Rally in summer 2006. Bus 187 (GPC731N) is one of several that passed to Reading Buses with the Newbury and Reading Bee Line operations. National 218 (KPA369P) is preserved in NBC livery.
