Unilink is the branded bus service operated under contract and serving the University of Southampton in Hampshire, England.

[1] In 1998, the university made a three-year agreement with FirstGroup's local subsidiary, First Southampton to run a new bus service under the Uni-link name.

[3] The university set up Uni-link as a separate company and put the contract for the operation of the service out to tender.

[9][10] Local bus company Bluestar were named as the winners of the next ten-year contract to run the service.

The new company used a fleet initially composed of five new vehicles under a £3m investment with wheelchair ramps and two doors at the rear.

[11] Later in October 2008, Bluestar had also trialled a tri-axle Scania OmniLink bus with a capacity of 97 passengers for one month on its U1 service.

[12] In March 2012, free Wi-Fi was installed on all Uni-link and Bluestar buses as a result of a £4.5 million investment from Transport for South Hampshire.
