I don't think you need me to tell you there has been a lot or snow fall over the past 24 hours or so. I just came down the m60 to stockport and that was bad enough but it looks like the bus stations have not been gritted yet as well as a lot of smaller roads. The a roads are slightly better but i think it's going to be a pretty tough day. God help anyone who complains about late running. I believe the glossor buses were running about an hour late yesterday. I think the major services are running which is more than can be said for first who pulled almost everything off the road for the second year running. Will see how the day unfolds. I'm on 389 later which i don't think will run. We had to leave a bus overnight on that route on saturday night because it got stuck on yew tree lane.
Landed in Manchester on Friday and boy oh boy was it cold and although we wanted to see snow I don't think we wanted to see this much (he he). Saw a Stagecoach bus parked across from the Royal Oak in Glossop Friday lunchtime. I wondered if you were driving? Had planned to go to Castleton today, what a joke! Although at the moment the sun is shining and above is a lovely blue sky. Stay safe on those road. Linda

ReplyDeleteI've put some photos on my blog showing a couple of the roads in Ashton yesterday, including what turned out to be one of the last First buses setting off on service.
ReplyDeleteHow did First Bus think their passengers were going to get home? Not all the roads were impassable - the main roads were still open. I'm glad to see Stagecoach weren't as mardy!
Glad I haven't got your job in this weather. Two feet in good boots seem to work best. But that's no good if you've a long way to go. Best wishes, stay safe!
ReplyDeleteFirst bus give in at the first sight of snow they cut the 350 short but speedwell s50 did there best to get round the route which they did
