Snow stops route 572

Um what to say for our first post.
Well Hi
Welcome to Cumbria Classic Coaches blog.
Hopefully we'll keep this up to date with our latest news and happenings.
Today..... Snow!
Today we couldn't run route 572 because of the snow and the A66 being shut. This is the first time we have missed a service run in 11 years! The snow is really deep here (for us) and yesterday we took a bus up to the Fat Lamb as our lane is really bad, the bus slid down the slope outside. And the bus is still there! The A66 is shut with deep snowdrifts and a jacknifed lorry.
Glad we don't have any bookings this weekend. Anthony was out on one on New Years Eve and went over Whinlatter Pass, bit of a white knuckle ride, road was shut but the signs were half way up the pass not at the end so he couldn't turn round!
