 Another ex Stevensons bus, Crosville Cymru ECW bodied Bristol VRTSL3 EVG49 (UVT49X) moved to Wales from Stevensons via Midland Fox in the British Bus days, before Arriva, when all three companies, though owned by British Bus, retained their individual liveries. The bus is seen here at SHOWBUS international 2001 preserved in Crosville Cymru colours. |

The last incarnation of Stratford Blue came via Ensignbus' City Sightseeing taking over Guide Friday. Ensignbus took over Julian Peddle's Stratford premises to compete with Guide Friday on their Stratford home turf. City Sightseeing acquired all Guide Friday operations - including their MetroRider operated Stratford town service. Ensignbus' livery linked well the Stratford Blue fleetname. This East Lancs Leyland Tiger, once Green Line ECW bodied TL39 (WPH139Y), was rebodied as a 51 seat bus as Midland Red North 1719. As Stratford Blue 439 the Leyland Tiger won the prize for the best in service Elizabethan singledeck pre 2000 at SHOWBUS international 2002.

 Some miles from its original home with Midland Red North is former 1913 (B913NBF) a standard ECW bodied Leyland Olympian. Whilst the livery is a passable imitation of that used by Arriva the Shires it is in fact with Summercourt Travel and is seen at their depot near Newquay in June 2005. |
 Former Fox 4611 (P611CAY), a Northern Counties bodied Volvo Olympian found its way into the Dunn operated YourBus fleet, their 2001, and running on city services in Nottingham in March 2010. |
 From the same source was former Fox 4637 (R637MNU), anither Northern Counties bodied Volvo Olympian with Aylesbury based Z&S seen in the town in November 2021.
