Updates @ 17.00 Friday 2nd March
Ipswich: most Ipswich Buses routes are running normally. Last buses will depart Tower Ramparts by 21.00 tonight.

Services 12 and 13 to Chantry finished early at around 18.00 due to deteriorating road conditions. Route 15a is still managing to get through as far as Hawthorn Drive. There are also diversions in place on routes 1 and 2.

That's me done reporting for the night :lol:

Uno gave up yesterday but are apparently running near normal today. But their social media team (person) doesn't work weekends so they haven't been able to tell anyone.

Their last Tweets say they've stopped running. For many they won't realise things are back to normal until Monday!

Lothian buses are on a Sunday service today and tomorrow:

Stagecoach Fife: Sunday service until 7pm where roads a passiable
Tayside is saturday service:
Updated 03.03.18 @ 0910

We have been monitoring weather and road conditions constantly, as well as recognising the requirement for many of our customers to reach vital services, especially when this has been extremely difficult over the last few days. We are therefore planning to operate a limited level of services on Saturday 3 March with further details shown below for each area.

Perthshire

We intend to operate to a normal Saturday timetable as best as possible across Perthshire and the Blairgowrie areas today, and will therefore include all the services we were able to run yesterday as well as a number of rural routes. A full list is below, along with any diversions or sections of the routes we are unable to serve. Any updates to this position will be posted here and via our Twitter feed (@StagecoachEScot) throughout the day. Please note that while we continue to assess the road conditions on these routes, the first journeys on these services may not operate, we will endeavour to update as early as possible however.

  • City services 1/2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 70 are operating full routes
  • City service 6 is unable to serve Glenalmond Rd and will operate via Glenlochy Rd
  • Service 14 is unable to serve the Bridgeton loop in Almondbank
  • Service 15/15A is unable to St Fillans at present, service 15 will terminate at Comrie and the 15A will go to Stirling but may have to miss Dunblane station.
  • Service 16 will operate but it unable to operate via Errol Grange and Inchture level crossing
  • Service 17 will operate as far as Dunning
  • Services 23/24/27 will operate full routes although the road routes will be closely monitored throughout the day. Service 23 will serve Bankfoot Prieston Road and rejoin the A9 to Dunkeld and back onto normal route until the road has been gritted
  • Service 56 will commence at Kinross P&R at 0734 then via Milnathort before joining the \m90 to Bridge of Earn and Perth, we are unable to serve Glenfarg at this time.
  • Service X8 will operate normal route, but is unable to serve Glamis Road, Dundee
  • Service X56 will operate as normal to Kinross then operate straight to Ferrytoll P&R then Edinburgh, we will be unable to serve Kelty, or Halbeath P&R at this time
  • All services in the Blairgowrie area will operate, (including all services to Perth and Dundee), with the exception of service 58, due to a road closure at Wofhill, and service 71.
Dundee and Angus

Most services have been operating to normal timetables today and we expect to be able to run full services on Saturday 3 March in these areas. Any updates to this will be posted on this page and via our Twitter feed (@StagecoachEScot)

  • Service 73 will operate via Carlogie Road as Easthaven is not accessible
  • Service X8 is unable to serve Glamis Road, Dundee
Fife

We will be operating a Sunday service on most routes in Fife, with journeys operating between the hours of 7am and 7pm. Due to road conditions, some services may be subject to diversions and delays and where any revisions are required they are noted below. A full list of the services operating is shown below, as well as a link to the Sunday timetable and details of the first and last journeys operating today. Please note that the live tracking on our website and app will not operate correctly today due to us running a Sunday service in Fife rather than normal Saturday service, apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

  • Halbeath P&R is not currently accessible to buses or cars so no services will use the facility.
Any updates throughout the day will be posted here, or on our Twitter feed (@StagecoachEScot) as soon as we are able to do so.

NAT in Cardiff say

We will be operating an X1 service approximately every 30 minutes between Grand Avenue, Ely and Westgate Street via Canton between 10am and 5pm. This service will be operated by our coach fleet which are fitted with specialised snow tyres and not our usual buses.

First Aberdeen
From the 2nd of March until further notice

First Aberdeen are currently running all services however there will be delays on most services due to staff struggling to get into work. Further updates to follow ongoing this morning.

N W Nicoll Of Lawrencekirk
08:53, 3rd Of March 2018

The service 26 will run a limited service from 0900 only calling in at Luthermuir, Laurencekirk, Drumlithie and Stonehaven.
All other services cancelled.

You can view further updates at their twitter. @NWNicoll

Bain's Coaches and Central Coaches Ltd don't have social media pages and their websites don't give service updates so i'm unsure what and if any of their services are in operation. I'd highly doubt Centrals 103 is in operations and a number of Bain's routes are likely off too.

Still very limited services in South Wales... nothing in the vale of Glamorgan and very restricted service in Cardiff...

sadly for the residents of Cardiff, Cardiff bus have chosen to put their limited resources into operating services on which NAT compete and which NAT are also operating services today. Seems Cardiff bus will never learn... surely the right approach would be to call a truce and ask NAT to accept their tickets for the duration of the emergency and co-operate to provide buses to as many areas as possible?

Very poor, on Thursday most if not all operators in West Yorkshire were accepting others tickets and its even been known in the past for the war between Transdev and Connexions to be set aside and them to accept each others tickets, to the extent of Connexions X1 being allowed to use Knaresborough Bus Station from which it is normally barred due to lack of capacity.

I doubt it was shortage of resources. Vale of Glamorgan bore the brunt of the weather.

from what I understand Cardiff Bus had a shortage of drivers due to the adverse conditions... however they chose to only operate the same routes as NAT... the question is why did they do so when other routes would also be passable? eg Baycar 6 is a totally flat route... but no service.. strangely no competing NAT service only. My point is that with the adverse conditions you would have thought that Cardiff bus would have cooperated rather than compete to give as many residents as possible a service. However as we all know Cardiff Bus has a history and reputation for over aggressive {and even illegal} competition.... seems they have learned nothing

A question worth putting to Cardiff Bus (and Council, seeing as they are the owners and supposed to be democratically accountable to the public).

Next door here in Newport, NAT weren't operating, Stagecoach were running the 50 to Caerphilly and X24 to Cwmbran and Newport Bus as follows

8A/8C Ringland - Chepstow Road only terminating at Coldra Roundabout

17/18/19 Malpas - Malpas Road only terminating at Cwmbran Drive Roundabout

34/35/36 Duffryn - Cardiff Road only terminating at Pont Ebbw Roundabout

42/43 Moorland Park - Outbound Chepstow Rd - Wharf Road - Corporation Road - SDR to Balfe Road roundabout. Inbound SDR - Corporation Road.

My final update at 18.00:

Reading Buses & Ipswich Buses: all services back to normal, and as the weather has turned milder in the South and east of England no further disruption is expected.

Devon:
- Plymouth: all services (Plymouth CityBus and Stagecoach) now operating full route, except route 3 (Plymouth-Dartmouth) is not operating at all and route 48 is not operating into Wembury.
- Barnstaple & Exeter: most services as per earlier reports. Most services are expected to be back to normal tomorrow, including route 6 between Bude and Exeter.
- Torquay: 12, 31, 32, 34, 46 all now full route. Gold full route except not serving Higher Westonfields (using A385).
Route 22 is still curtailed to St Marychurch. I don't know what the problem is with the A379 road between St Marychurch and Teignmouth, but from tomorrow a shuttle bus service will operate between Dawlish and Dawlish Warren, to the same timings as the normal service.

Arriva MK withdrawing service today from 7pm, which is totally unnecessary as the main roads are now usably clear and good for 50mph (limit 60/70) in most places.

Much of it has melted today, the lot will easily be gone by Monday if not tomorrow.

Same here in South Wales. An excuse not to run unprofitable evening services?

Swindon's buses ran largely unaffected over the last three days apart from some minor re-routings due to local road conditions. Yesterday and Thursday (the days of the heavy snowfall) most were running half empty!

well here in south wales it's probably got something to do with the fact that the temperatures have dropped once again and with the thawing that's taken place today there is a significant risk of black ice... I've hit black ice in my car before... and I certainly wouldn't like to try ice skating with a bus! also I've had a fresh fall of snow in the last couple of hours here in my part of south wales... another good reason for taking the buses off early...
and don't forget the drivers have to get home after their shift...

if you intend going out don't be fooled... just because the air temp is above freezing and it's raining doesn't mean to say there won't be black ice... the weathermen have been warning about this for days... because the ground is still frozen then rain can freeze on contact with the ground and form black ice....
