 One of the earliest entries received for SHOWBUS international in 2006 was one of the new Citaros delivered to Solent Blue Line and trading under a new Blue Star branding: 405 (HD06EZE). |

 Replacing planned doubledeck entries from Solent Blue Line at SHOWBUS 2007 was this Marchwwod Motorways DAF SB120, 564 (YG52CLX). The doubledeckers were engaged, via Go-Ahead London, on rail replacement work. The DAF is in the Solent Blue Line "bluestar" colours and had apparently been treated to a paint job which was designed to reduce body rattles. |

 By 2009 Bluestar has more of a fleet identity and the Winchester route was growing in popularity resulting in a new fleet of integral Scania N230UD deckers being acquired for the route. Seen at SHOWBUS international in 2009 was 1130 (HF58KCJ). |

 Reading Buses 820 (YN06JWD) is seen in their pink livery for the 25/26 services, it contrasts with the shade of pink used on 834 (YN06JWZ) for the 24 service behind in Reading town centre in July 2008. With Reading regularly renewing its fleet with greener buses, Blueline took the opportunity to acquire more Scanias, while still they were still relatively youthful. |
