 Arriving for a grey SHOWBUS at Duxford in 2010 is former Van Hool bodied Volvo B10M 2601 (D601GHY). Its khaki green suited the miltary aspect of the War Museum site. |
 By 2018 2601 had progressed to an all over white livery, but a few years later was on the rally circuit in full Badgerline colours of green and yellow.

 Painting B7RLE 66726 in Badgerline colours back in 2015 was a prelude to reviving the Badgerine identity as First started re-establishing local identities for its operations. Here at the new Weston-Super-Mare depot in July 2022 we can see the new identity emerging. Centre is a new Badgerline Wright Streetdeck, 35674 (MF22SYE), part of a batch of nearly thirty delivered in March and April to cement the brand in the area. Two more of the batch can be seen in the yard with one of several overhauled older Streetlite DF buses, 47561 (SN64CLO), in the new colours. Looking pretty in pink on the far right of the picture is Streetlite 47554 (SN14FGF) in a livery to promote contactless payemnt. Alongside it is Alexander Dennis Pointer Dart 42902 (WX05RVK) relegated to driver training, but in the new Badgerline garb. Not to be missed are the pair of coverted open top Wright bodied Volvo B9TL 37629 (WX58JYR) and 37630 (WX58JYS) confined to weekend operations.
