By 2005 route branding had become a little more blatant using strong colours on the whole bus. Optare Solo 28 (YN03NEF) is in route 8 purple livery, alongside VDL SB120/Wright 61 (YG52CMU) in the new orange livery for route 5. Both buses display the appropriate destination blinds at SHOWBUS 2005.

In 2004 MK Metro's Caetano bodied Dart won the prize for the Best New Millennium bus. This is celebrated on the blinds of the 2005 entries.

The final 2005 pose shows the "SHOWBUS 2005" destinations. Both buses were recent secondhand purchases. The Solo came from Weaverway where it had carried Newbury & District fleetnames and the Wright bus, appropriately from Wrights of Millport.
