Another bus with London connections is Straford Blue 529 (G29TGW), a Carlyle bodied Dennis Dart new to London Buses as DT29. It is seen in Stratford on Avon where it was used on local excursions. It arrived from
the defunct Phoenix Student Travel operation in Essex and had appeared at SHOWBUS in Golden
Jubilee livery in 2002. This picture was taken in July 2004.
