[M60lad]

There's already a thread for train services affected but I thought I'd start one to find out how any Bus Services were affected by Storm Amy over this weekend

The 576 from Halifax to Bradford usually has (mostly) single decker allocations in windy weather. It appears to be the case today.

 

[ACBest]

None of the Peak Sightseer open-top buses operated in Derbyshire yesterday or today as a result of the storm.

The Stagecoach Yorkshire X17 from Barnsley to Wirksworth was single decker operated on Saturday due to the exposure around Kelstedge

The 576 from Halifax to Bradford usually has (mostly) single decker allocations in windy weather. It appears to be the case today.

That doesn't surprise me, i've been on the 576 a few times, the section between Queensbury & Halifax is the issue were the road is right up on the hill with a sheer drop on one side.

 

[YorkRailFan]

Coastliner 840 didn't serve Goathland on both Saturday and Sunday due to high winds:

Due to reports of extreme high winds the 840 service will not be serving Goathland at the present time

Stops missed are: Goathland Shops & Mallyon Spout

We apologise for the inconvenience
