History
The current route only dates back to 1992. The original route 23 was renumbered route 15 on May 18, 1985. The route has always been operated by First (formerly Centrewest). It mainly used Routemasters including an open top one, along with MCW Metrobuses. In 2002, Dennis Trident Alexander ALX400's were used to convert the 23 to low floor with the last RML running on the 15 November 2003. In May 2008, Alexander Dennis Enviro400s were introduced to the route and more recently Gemini 2 DL's were introduced in 2009.
