Mitcham Belle started London operations on the 10th April 1999 with the acquisition of route
127. A year later they picked up the 200 and 201 from London General, on which this 10-metre
Dart SLF with Plaxton bodywork is seen on the South Circular. |

Later purchases of Darts for services in the Wimbledon area had Caetano Nimbus bodies, like
this one, KW51BFP, on the 152, appropriately in Mitcham. The livery was also modified at
this stage to comply with "Red Ken" edicts.

This Caetano Dart is seen in Wimbledon town centre in May 2003. |
|   |
A small batch of Optare Solos was acquired for the K5 into Kingston. KX51UCV is seen in March
2004 on route to Ham, again in Mitcham.

Harking back to Mitcham Belle's origins as a coach operator is the Neoplan Transliner
bodied Dennis Javelin new to Timeline Travel as their 904 (M904OVR).
