The first sample of the new local management-inspired East London livery to feature on this site is 17780 (LX03 BVS), fresh out of the paint shop at Walthamstow bus station around midday on 5 March 2007 on route 48, ready to commence the next journey to London Bridge taking around an hour.

The livery change was prompted by the sale of the East London and Selkent operations by Stagecoach to Macquarie bank. Although a limited amount of colour variation is allowed the TfL preference is for allover red and in the absence of any reason to do otherwise this is what most operators have now settled for. The old logos from pre-privatisation days (1998-1994) have been dug out, which in the case of East London is a Thames barge, with the old fleetnames in an updated font.
