Don't they run with snow chains, tho'?

Not routinely, no.
On the BBC news yesterday, I saw a Russian bus tyre with steel studs, but
I'm pretty sure (tho not 100%) that even they are not daily wear on winter
buses - though I'd guess they'd be essential in hilly country!

But it's all by-the-by - the bus routes in London were very clear by
lunchtime yesteday; a bit of wet, some mild sleety snow and temperatures
about -1 to +1 degrees; in the normal stride of any bus.
