Still in First London red livery is TNL32901 seen leaving Bracknell Bus Station in June 2013 with Thames Travel's Optare Solo 710 (MX08MYY) on layover. Of more interest is the other First Berkshire Trident/President resplendent in the new First livery, which TNL32901 was soon to acquire, whereas 710 was shortly to become Carousel red.
 

A year later 710 was seen in Reading in June in its final days with Thames Travel.

Optare Solo 715 is seen in Bracknell Bus Station on the same day. The simplified livery can be seen compared to the original version on the Solo behind. It is possible that 715 has suffered some accident damage as the lower front dash is not of conventional appearance. The bus has also acquired the registration, P1OXF, of former Oxford Espress Scania/Irizar Century 62, later 40.
 

Solo 722 (YJ59NNH) seen the following year in Bicester is in the same simplified livery. The bus had been acquired from Heyfordian.
