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. Their East Lancs Leyland Tiger, 739, once Green Line ECW bodied TL39 (WPH139Y), was rebodied for Midland Red North 1719 as a 51 seat bus. It| won the 2002 prize for the best in service Elizabethan singledeck pre-2000 at SHOWBUS. |
