Now that there is a dusting of snow, you probably demanding the buses should be taken off again incase of a rare chance that a bus might skid off the road. It's very rare for buses to be blown off the road as such there is probably a handful of incidents each year, very few to the point where the bus has been completely flipped over onto its side. To be fair there is more risk of a bus flipping over on its side due to hitting another vehicle or coming off a road with a servere drop to the side.All I am saying is 21 didn't need to be double deckers last night (but commend the drivers for operating in such conditions), as you said double deckers have operated in storms before however it was a risk they didn't need to take. I would understand if I was saying why didn't they take them ooff during the say as obviously they wouldn't be enough buses, however they could have easily been swaped out for a Coast & Country.
This isn't the first time we have encountered servere storms and won't be the last either. The bus companies know what they are doing (well most of them), and if they feel there is a major safety issue they would take the buses off, likewise if the police have advised them to remove services. The 21 route is miles from the Coast, and although the winds were strong, it won't be as bad as it would have been down the coast.
