Taken on the B158 High Road, this photo shows a preserved London Transport country bus RF539 (NLE 539) on a short tour from Potters Bar Bus Garage, which was having an Open Day. The vehicle is an AEC Regal IV with Metro-Cammell 39-seater bodywork dating from the early 1950s. Essendon used to be served by routes 350/350A which were operated by London Transport green buses from Hertford bus garage in the 1960s, then by London Country Bus Services in the 1970s. The village is now served by route 341 operated by UNO on weekdays. The Rose & Crown pub can be seen behind the bus.
