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.
