Another East Herts & Essex bus on another cross-border service, but this time a very different sort of bus and a rather different sort of service. The 505 meanders between Walthamstow and Harlow and is essentially a rural route, in contrast to the 310A which is part of an intensive suburban service. The 505 does, however, also provide some handy links within Greater London as well as being the only bus to serve Waltham Way. But its main function is to serve Sewardstone and Tylers Cross in Essex.

The vehicle is also rather smaller! The usual buses these days are these manual gearbox Iveco minibuses, in this case 2349 (M729 UTW) which was new to County Bus as MB729. It has Marshall C31 bodywork and is painted in the standard Arriva livery rather than the London red version.
