The A68 is a lethal road in the winter, it's definitely not a route which buses should be going along in the dark when there's snow around especially around Tow Law especially at the times they'd need to do it for the early boards.
We used to travel up and down multiple times a day, and even with the snow it was rarely impassable.
What you have to remember is it's quite an important route for lorries so it's usually cleared pretty quickly.
