Yesterday, Route 425 passed to Tower Transit using brand new Enviro 400 buses from the Lea Interchange depot in Leyton, East London. Route 425 started in 2008 as a replacement for the Route S2, which was created in 1998, and run by Capital Citybus and First. Then in 2008, ahead of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games, it was announced that the S2 would be withdrawn and rerouted via a new route 425 fun by Docklands Buses based in Silvertown using the company's only Scania Omnicitys. Then in October 2012 First won the contract, however Tower Transit has since bought First and now run the 425. The Omnicitys will be going off-lease. I hope you enjoyed reading this post.
