On New Year's Day a local bus company, Stephensons of Essex, provided a special service over a number of routes normally served by other operators. As in past years several vintage buses were used for this purpose. The bus seen here is a former Southdown Leyland PD3/4 dating from 1964. These vehicles have always been known to the bus fraternity as 'Queen Marys'.
