 In 2014 First painted several buses in Manchester and Sheffield in liveries of its various municipal predecessors. First South Yorkshire Wright bodied Volvo B9TL 37231 (YN08LCL) was painted in Rotherham Corporation colours and even given a typical Rotherham fleet number - 1431. The bus was also named in honour of Peter Drury, a former First Rotherham driver who died at the wheel of his bus in a head on collision with a wreckless truck driver. It is seen at the Hertfordshire Showground Classic Bus event in June 2014.
