Another late video, I didn't get to cover this on the first day because this change happened over a month ago when travelling was strictly for essential reasons only.
On the 23rd of May 2020, route 25 passed back to Stagecoach London, the operator that also had the 25 between 1994 and 2011 (known as East London, an old subsidiary of Stagecoach London, at the time), before passing to First London, and then being sold to Tower Transit. Route 25 began its operation with East London in 1989, however at the time it was owned by London Buses. Stagecoach purchased East London, as well as Selkent, in 1994 during the privatisation of London bus services, therefore also purchasing route 25, along with other routes. East London was also owned by Macquarie Bank between 2006 and 2010, as SLN sold its London operations to them. Stagecoach reacquired its old London operations with all operations once again re-branded as Stagecoach London in October 2010. Route 25 is operated from Bow (BW) garage, allocated with brand new Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 MMC Smart Hybrids.
I hope you are all safe during this lockdown. Restrictions have been eased to allow for more time outside, but if you do go outside, especially for bus spotting or bashing, remember to keep your distance and wear a face mask at all times, unless you have breathing problems. I'd like to thank all bus drivers, NHS nurses and doctors, and all other key workers for they're hard work and support, doing all they can to protect the country. Let's hope this all ends soon! Hopefully we can go back to normality by July, because there are a lot of summer related things I want to do on this channel!

Are you new to this channel? If so, hey, I'm GreaterLondonBuses! Here you will find many transport videos on buses, including visuals, journeys, observations, and occasionally Ibus announcements and blind changes. As lockdown eases further, I will be going out at least once a week to film on buses, mainly recent changes or rail replacement, so I hope you enjoy! I am still avoiding rail travel, which includes the London Underground, Overground, DLR, Trams and National Rail, so I won't be covering any buses in areas which are too far for me. However, hopefully by mid-July, I will be able to travel further in London and hopefully out of London without restrictions, so feel free to subscribe and give my videos a like if you're interested! Looking at the statistics, about 73% of my viewers aren't subscribed to my channel, lets make that percentage smaller!
