SW827 (V827FSC) became - for First Beeline - something of a standard singledecker: a Scania L94UB/Wright Axcess Floline. However, the livery is far from standard as it is route branded for Reading's Fast-track Park & Ride. The brand name being used by Reading Buses on its contribution to another Park & Ride service using Optare Excels. SW827 is seen passing two of Tillingbourne's ex London Country Volvo/East Lancs deckers. The bus has an unmistakable air of Arriva about its colour scheme.

Arriva's Wycombe buses on the 328 and 329 meet up with First Beeline's Wright bodied Scanias on Fast-track Park & Ride services in Reading providing an opportunity to compare the two liveries.

Side by side in Reading Bus Station are Beeline Scania SW830 (V830FSC) and Arriva the Shire's Volvo B10B/Plaxton Verde 3815 (N415NRG).

Before donning their airport liveries, Slough's MPD Darts wore a similar purple and white scheme for the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead's subsidised services branded Borough Bus. This MPD is seen in Slough Bus Station in October 2001 having worked on a route in the Borough of Slough.
