 Three of the fleet of Mercedes Citaros purchased by First for the BAA Freeflow Heathrow services are seen together in the Slough depot yard in May 2005, along with a First Centrewest Northern Counties bodied Volvo Olympian, VDN34106 (T906KLF), assigned to Slough for the 335 service. Nearest the camera is ES64021 (BU04EZG), then ES64017/2 (LT52WXP/LT52WXA), the latter were new as EC2018/2. |

 Mercedes ES64021 is seen here in service at Heathrow in 2004, one of a pair of Citaros bought to supplement the service that year. Behind is a similarly liveried vehicle with red in place of purple for Carousel's Freeflow Heathrow A40 route from High Wycombe. |

 Another pair arrived a month after the initial batch and received "03" registrations. Citaro EC2015 (LK03LNE) is seen at Heathrow in 2005 already renumbered ES64018. |

 This broadside of its sister vehicle, EC2019 (LK03LNF) displays the special livery well in Slough Bus Station when still new. |

 Leaving Slough Bus station bound for Heathrow in May 2006 is ES64016 (LT52WXO). |

 Heading in the opposite direction is ES64012 (LT52WXA) earlier in that year. |
| |
 Seen at Heathrow when only a couple of months old is EC2013 (LT52WXB). |
