Former operations First Southampton First Southampton had ran their buses using the "city red" branding, which in 2014 started to replace and rebrand routes that were previously under the generic First livery. They had nine routes that cover from Totton and Millbrook to Sholing and West End with all but one route terminating at the city. The city red branding initially consisted of 30 buses, with a fleet of Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse Urbans and Wright Streetlites before expanding. The branding itself was reminiscent of the previous Southampton Citybus operator that used to run in the city. The buses that were inherited from Southampton Citybus were either repainted or transferred to other FirstGroup divisions and by the mid 2010's any remaining step entrance buses were sold or scrapped. For a time, First Southampton had run routes to the University of Southampton as an agreement with them for three years in 1998, under the Unilink brand. These had gas powered Duple Dartlines with the Dennis Dart chassis liveried in a mix of blue and pink colours. Due to low patronage numbers and sustainability issues, the company announced its intention to close it's Southampton division in November 2022. All routes ran under First Southampton were withdrawn on 18 February 2023, with most of its routes taken over by Bluestar. Fleet As of February 2023, the fleet consisted of 258 buses. These are broken down into the following divisions. The Portsmouth, Fareham & Gosport division has 149 buses spread over its Hilsea and Hoeford depots. The Southampton division had 55 buses in its single depot. The Wessex, Dorset & Somerset division has 54 buses in its single depot.
