There was about 10 to 15 buses together.
Poor 6004 was there from 07:34 to 10ish.
Whats it like buses wise today
Iow, mostly main roads, avoiding estates and rural areas and steep hills. Just announced that they're likely to knock off early again tonight.
Knackered is what it is,to answer my own question
there's a 56 B9 stuck at Nissan in a ditch a van and tow truck on the scene at the moment, my mam has sent me picture of it
An update:
Buses on Thursday 1 March
We’d like to thank everyone for their patience over the last couple of days. Most of our services have been running, on main roads at least. Due to the continuing bad weather and this evening's forecasts it is highly likely that we will be finishing our services earlier than usual again today, for the safety of our customers and our staff.
