As soon as drivers report the high winds causing hazardous driving conditions to the Service Delivery Centre, changeovers are arranged with single-decks deployed (and the double-decks used on local bus routes like the 26/27).

Allocating single-decks isn’t something that anyone likes doing though, as people will be forced to stand on the A19 rather than be seated. That said, safety will never be compromised.

That’s the beauty of having a central control room and radio systems on buses (something which can’t be said for Arriva!)
