New wraps are set to be seen on eight different transport services to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of Transport for London (TfL) – including both London Trams and the DLR. This will be the first time that the same design has featured across TfL services, and will highlight the many innovative customer improvements to London’s transport network since TfL was created in 2000.
The eight different transport services which will feature the design will be the DLR, Elizabeth line, IFS Cloud Cable Car, London Overground, London Trams, London Underground, a zero emission bus and a taxi. A special 25th anniversary roundel will also feature on Santander Cycles.
The wrap will incorporate the 25th anniversary roundel, and they will show the transformation of London’s transport network over the last 25 years, TfL’s role in economic growth and the creation of new jobs and homes, and its work to make the transport system safer, greener and more inclusive and accessible.
Customer improvements to feature on the design will include the launch of the world-first contactless Oyster card in 2003, buses becoming fully accessible in 2005 and the launch of the Elizabeth line in 2022. It will also feature the words “Making every journey matter for 25 years”.
Seb Dance, Deputy Mayor for Transport, said: “I’m really looking forward to seeing these new designs first-hand on our transport services. TfL’s landmark 25th anniversary this year is a great opportunity to reflect on just how much our transport network has evolved and transformed in recent years, serving millions of Londoners and visitors to our city each and every day. The Mayor and I are committed to doing all we can to invest in and improve our network further, so it is fit for future generations and the next 25 years.”
Andy Lord, London’s Transport Commissioner, added: “London’s transport network has played such an integral part in the city’s growth over the last 25 years, with new services and improvements unlocking new parts of the capital and enabling more people to benefit from public transport, helping the city prosper. We’re excited to launch these special designs across a number of our services for the first time to mark the occasion, whilst also looking ahead to the next 25 years and all the improvements we have in the pipelines, such as those to make our network as accessible and inclusive as possible.”
The specially wrap will be seen on the TfL network until at least the end of 2025.
