Whose idea was it to paint an RM in brown and silver (RM 1933 IIRC)? I saw
it today and nearly vomited!

Yes, appropriately RM1933, as it's 75 years since the formation of the
London Passenger Transport Board. The special livery also commemorates
the opening of Bow Garage 100 years ago [as a tram depot]. Maybe the
brown livery relates to the North Metropolitan Tramways colours.

It may be of interest to note that Bow Garage is having a open day on
Saturday 28th June.
