For several years now, on two Saturdays shortly before Christmas, Ensignbus of Rainham, Essex, have boosted their X80 service between Bluewater and Lakeside Shopping Centres (either side of the Thames and linked by the Dartford Crossing bridge and tunnel) using a variety of historic old buses. One used in 2008 was East London Bus Group's RM1933. This bus is one of those retained to work some journeys on service 15 between Trafalgar Square and Tower Hill. This one is painted in an historic livery to mark the 100th anniversary of Bow bus garage and the 75th anniversary of London Transport. The location is Greenhithe station. Behind the bus are some works in connection with the extension of the 'Fastrack' bus system that serves this developing area.
