It was almost certainly an X17 service from Coventry, which is scheduled to run every 15 minutes during the day. There's a bus stop here. Half the X17s terminate either at Warwick or Jaguar Land Rover at Gaydon down the road; half continue to Stratford-upon-Avon via estates and villages, the former X18 service. Stagecoach have at times used double-deckers on this route since it was extended to Stratford. The recovery vehicle is from Fillongley, a village northwest of Coventry. The scene was chanced upon during the snowy spell in mid-December 2017.
