Spirit of London (Stagecoach in London)

ADL Enviro400 LX55HGC was named Spirit of London in tribute to the 13 people killed on a bus during the 7 July 2005 London bombings. It was built as a one-off replacement for the bus destroyed in the attack and was the first production example of the Alexander Dennis Enviro400 double-decker.

Unveiled on 3 October 2005, it has since operated across London for East London in a variety of liveries.

Incidents

On 19th October 2012 LX55HGC was seriously damaged in an arson attack, but was repaired at a cost of around £60,000 and returned to service during April 2013.

Replacement

This bus has since been preserved by Stagecoach in London with 11377 SK20BBF carrying the Spirit of London name.
