With the tram ends remaining in fleet livery, as is normal, the colour scheme of the advert is mainly purple with writing on some windows while other windows have full vinyl coverage.

With a pink background the advert is for Taylor Rose MW, a firm of solicitors.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first advert for <strong>2531<\/strong> as it previously advertised Addington Palace from January 2000 and then McMillan Williams solicitors between September 2014 and November 2015. Of note is that Taylor Rose MW was formed in 2020 after Taylor Rose TTKW acquired McMillan Williams so this is in fact a return of advertiser to 2531.<\/p>\n<p>Adverts on Tramlink have been few and far between recently with just the Love Croydon design on <strong>2554<\/strong> having been seen since the end of 2016\/start of 2017 when <strong>2537<\/strong> lost vinyls for Turkish Airlines.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_41125\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=41125\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-41125\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41125\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-41125\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2531-ic-550x383.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2531-ic-550x383.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2531-ic-768x535.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2531-ic.jpg 827w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-41125\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">2531&#8217;s and its new advert is seen here on the approach to East Croydon.
