I've just read something regarding this.  Apparently it's a H&S risk to wash buses below certain temperatures.

It will depend where the wash is. It is not good if the water runs off the bus and then freezes on the ground

Most washes shut down automatically at 3 degrees to prevent damage to the wash.  Depends if washes are covered and where positioned in the depot when they get to this point.

Oswestry appear to have loaned Shrewsbury depot, 3791 FL63 DXZ, it was seen working on one of the Shrewsbury depot, Covid related diagrams today on the 70 Oswestry to Shrewsbury and tracking as 'SP SY' on BusTimes.org.

Following on from 3791 reporting as operating as 'SP SY' on BusTimes yesterday (having physically seen it covering on a Shrewsbury depot turn), 3788 is doing the same today on the 13:02 70 ex Oswestry, crewed by a Oswestry driver too and noted as tracking as 'SP SY'.

I understand the above could be related to Shrewsbury depot dropping some services today due to driver absence (reported on the Arriva Midlands West Facebook Profile).
