A CAVALCADE through London's West End of various buses which have served Londoners during the 25 years of the Queen's reign, launched London Transport's contribution to the Silver Jubilee celebrations on Easter Sunday.
The cavalcade was led by a selection of red buses spanning the period. They were followed by London's 25 Silver Jubilee Buses. The Silver Jubilee Buse have carpeting on both deck which incorporates Londo Transport's Silver Jubilee Bu symbol, the Crown/St Paul' symbol of the London Cele brations Committee and th Woolmark.
All the normal advertisin spaces on each bus carr messages from a single advertiser and the advertisin revenue has more than :overed the costs of the proect.
Most tickets issued on the Puses in service will carry messages from the appropriate firm.
The advertisements are hand-painted and were approved by London Transport's Design Committee, joined on that occasion by the Duke of Gloucester. The Silver Jubilee Buses will run in London until November.
