By yesterday lunch time even the road outside my house (a cul-de-sac with not much traffic or direct sunlight and hadn't been gritted) was 90% clear of snow and ice. Even High Peak had their 190, 199 and TP services running by yesterday afternoon. Although, I suppose there were strong winds which could have brought some tree branches down.

To be honest I expected that kind of reply to my observation, people are always quick to defend enthusiast friendly bus operators not following the rules.

I'm not sure that a comparison between relatively main road routes and the 289 is entirely fair, which is rural in many parts. All that matters to any prospective passenger, is that it turns up, which it did, not what colour it was. Having travelled on a D&G 130 during the worse of it (after the other lot's 130 failed to show up) it was noticeable how the road conditions changed drastically once you were past Henbury. The weather seemed fairly localised and the road conditions around the 'Costa Del Macc' were very different to that 5 miles down the road.
