Earlier in the summer we reported that Transport for London were going to be wrapping various vehicles in their fleets to help celebrate their 25th anniversary, and this was to include trams and DLR vehicles as well as buses and trains. Since that announcement things had gone a little bit quiet but London Trams 2537 is now running in a half wrap as the trams contribution to the celebrations.
The vinyls – which only cover one half of the trams, with the other end remaining in full fleet livery – are blue and have been applied over the standard fleet livery with the two blending at the cab end of the tram which remains in normal colours.
The livery includes various milestones which have taken place during the TfL years which includes the 2000 opening of what was then Croydon Tramlink and the 2006 introduction of the “Baby on Board” badges.
The vinyls were first applied in the first couple of weeks of September 2025.
This is the second time that 2537 has been out of fleet livery in its career. The first time saw it carry a full advert livery for Turkish Airlines from August 2016.
2537 and its new look half are seen in this image as the tram heads away from the camera at Therapia Lane.
