 Stratford Blue picked up some of the Warwickshire County Council funded "Links" services, in which the Council provided the vehicles. It was the failure of the previous Julian Peddle Stratford Blue undertaking to gain any such contracts that led to the sale of that business. The new "Blue" initially picked up contracts requiring this (X438KON) and one other (X439KON) Mercedes Citaro. Two other Warwickshire Citaros entered service with Johnson of Henley in Arden (X432/3KON). This bus is seen at North Weald in 2004. |
 Warwickshire was more patriotic with its subsequent purchases and provided seven TransBus Enviro300 buses for services. Four went to Stagecoach Midland Red and three moved quickly from Pete's Travel to Guide Friday/Startford Blue. One of the trio is 401 (SN04EFM) seen in Straford route branded for the X20. |
 Enviro 403 (SN04EFR) is the last of the trio, seen in the centre of Stratford. The missing bus is 402 (SN04EFP). |
 Enviro 403 (SN04EFR) is seen again in 2007. |
