Golden Jubilee Buses


In 1977 for Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee 25 London Routemaster buses were painted silver with the help of sponsorship. These RMs were renumbered SRM 1-25 and reverted back to the old numbers when repainted back into red. Now for the Golden Jubilee 50 London buses have been painted into gold, this time however they are retaining their fleet numbers.
