Nexus, bus companies and local councils are working together to give you the best possible bus service this winter. We’re sharing information, co-ordinating gritting, and planning ahead to keep on the road.
If severe weather does hit the region bus is the safest way to travel – but some delays and disruption is possible when road conditions are at their worst.
Latest Information
www.nexus.org.uk gives you the latest updates 24 hours a day on bus services, co-ordinating information from all operators.

Advice for passengers
• Dress for the weather, including sturdy shoes, warm clothing and headwear.
• Take extra care at bus stations and stops where floors and pavements may be slippery
• Leave extra time for travel and do not expect buses to run to timetable in the worst weather – but they will get through whenever they can.
• Buses can often serve main roads even when estates are impassable. Be ready to walk to a main road should this be the case.
• In the very worst weather it can take time at the start of each morning to check a whole bus route is passable, particularly in hilly areas. Use our website for the latest information.
