All services from Stagecoach's Exeter Depot were also suspended this afternoon. Plymouth Depot has withdrawn all routes except the Park-and-Ride services and a limited service on route 2 between Elburton and St Budeaux (Tamar Bridge) only. However a few buses did stay out on Torquay's route 12 (Newton Abbot-Torquay-Paignton-Brixham) after all.

Plymouth CityBus has suspended several of its hilly outer sections of route and is now concentrating on main roads only, with maintaining a link between Derriford Hospital and the City Centre a priority. Very restricted services will operate tomorrow (Friday 2nd March).

Most Stagecoach services in North Devon are continuing to operate as this part of Devon is not as badly affected by the weather conditions. Route 6/6a (Exeter-Bude) is not operating and route 155 is operating between Barnstaple and South Molton only with no service to Tiverton and Exeter.
One of those 12s was featured for a moment on local TV news, where the cheerful driver said he was coping, but running about an hour late!

Down here in West Cornwall, we have a flood warning on the south coast for high tide tomorrow a.m. to go with stormforce wind and the approx. 9-10 inches of snow in my garden (sorry, don't do cms).

Stagecoach Cambridge doing better than usual. Council have done a good job of keeping roads clear, but people working from home meaning traffic better than normal!

First Essex had temporarily suspended all services from various depots today. It was around 11am when I overheard that Chelmsford depot had stopped all of its services. Hadleigh, Colchester and Basildon had already shut by then. By late afternoon services were slowly getting back to normal across the county.

Update - Friday 2nd March @ 08.00

Devon: Stagecoach South West also pulled its North Devon services yesterday evening. This morning there is a very limited service out of Plymouth Depot on the park-and-ride services, on route 1 as far as Roborough, and on route 2 between Elburton and St Budeaux only - nothing else. Nothing operating out of Exeter, Torquay or Barnstaple Depots this morning. Plymouth CityBus ran its last services from the City Centre at 22.00 last night, and has a very limited service on selected main roads within the City from 05.30. Route 12 is operating as far as Callington and routes 70/70a are terminating at Torpoint, HMS Raleigh. UPDATE: limited service just commenced operating in Barnstaple on routes 10/10a, 11a/11c and 19, and on route 21 between Barnstaple and Braunton (West Meadow Road) only.

Ipswich: Ipswich Buses are running all town routes this morning, with some delays. Country routes are mostly operating, but 94a, 111,and 173/174 remain suspended and 97 had a late start. 93/94 not serving Capel St Mary.

Reading: Reading Buses kept most services going last night, although terminated the 4/X4 at Loddon Bridge for a while due to road conditions in Wokingham and Bracknell. A return X4 to Bracknell and back did leave Reading at 22.00. This morning everything is operating, with some delays. Route 1 is staying on the A4 between Thatcham and Newbury, and route 5 is missing out Corbridge Road. Route 4 is currently not serving Southern Industrial Estate in Bracknell - because a car is blocking the bus-only road!

First Kernow are running a main road service only limited to about 8-9 routes. They have an exceptionally good social media with at least half hourly Facebook updates.

They are extremely good with their updates.

BoS won’t be running this morning - review at 1200. They have also provided updates for Berry’s and Hatch Green Coaches.

First WoE - as per BoS, nothing this morning with assessment at 1200. Weather here was brutal last night as temperatures plummeted. Suspension really is the correct decision.

The school (service) busses didn't turn up on Wednesday (and someone walked in, which takes an hour) and then they ran yesterday (and the person didn't come in at all). I am not sure whether they ran today, as we are off school, though some busses on the same route are running I know definitely.

First Glasgows are on but no idea of frequency .
Some services are running, but a large number of areas/towns (Faifley/Duntocher, Summerston, Robroyston, Drumchapel, Mountblow, Balornock/Barmulloch & Helensburgh to name but a few) are still inaccessible to buses. Not sure on the service frequency of the routes that are running, though one assumes that it's much reduced.

Regular updates from their Twitter feed as more areas get cleared: https://twitter.com/FirstinGlasgow

Cheshire:

High Peak are struggling to get vehicles out of their Dove Holes depot so most services are cancelled (same as yesterday)

Arriva are experiencing some disruption on rural routes around Macclesfield and Chester but most services are running (same as yesterday)

As far as I know Howards/Springfield are operating as normal today (they were cancelling some services yesterday)

D&G seem to be operating as normal but their buses have got very dirty over the past couple of days - perhaps too cold to use bus washers?

Most Buses on the 3 big companies running. Many diverted/stopping short of steep hill/minor roads. Less important buses not running, and a lot of the routes into the country not getting to their eventual destinations.

I have little faith we will see a 73 tomorrow along the normal route. This was the road through Duloe a couple of hours ago. I don’t see that clearing overnight!

Some services are running, but a large number of areas/towns (Faifley/Duntocher, Summerston, Robroyston, Drumchapel, Mountblow, Balornock/Barmulloch & Helensburgh to name but a few) are still inaccessible to buses. Not sure on the service frequency of the routes that are running, though one assumes that it's much reduced.

Regular updates from their Twitter feed as more areas get cleared: https://twitter.com/FirstinGlasgow

Gonna try and get bus into town tomorrow (31(
