(Bearing in mind you'd also need to declare your intentions at least 21 days in advance...?)
There was no 'apparent' struggle about it. Stagecoach and Go North East both admitted on social media that they were having capacity issues. Arriva not so, but you could tell from the live map that they were struggling.
People will still go out somewhere, regardless of the weather. The variable is where they go to. There'll still be plenty of travel to and from town and city centres, the likes of the Metrocentre, and so on.
The poor bus service provision is what puts people off. Not the weather.
