This specially liveried Northern Counties Palatine II bodied Volvo Olympian, one of a large fleet which ousted the VR buses from their native Bristol. The livery denotes that 9660 (P660UFB) is used on the Long Ashton Park & Ride and was barely a year old when seen at the 1998 Weston Rally.

The bus was seen again at SHOWBUS in 2002.

Park & Ride 9705 (W705PHT) is an unusual vehicle for a First fleet - an East Lancs Lolyne bodied Dennis Trident.
The vehicle is part of a batch sporting at least three liveries so far. The first displayed at the 1999 Coach & bus show was in corporate colours, but subsequently repainted. Another is in a special Sky Blue contravision advertisement livery promoting its green credentials in connection with BP low sulphur diesel and is touring First group fleets. The rest are in this Bristol Park & Ride colour scheme. The bus is seen at the Royal Victoria Bus Rally in Southampton in July 2000.

The same Trident was seen at the very wet Cobham Bus Rally held in April 2012 at Wisley Gardens. The bus retained its P&R blue livery but was relegated to school duties.
