Thanks . Life is tough at the "coal face" and it is refreshing to have a laugh now and then. The T1A is an interesting case and probably is a "poor experience". The T1A departing at 9.40am from Aberystwyth replaces 2 services, (the 585 9.35am departure and the T1 9.40am departure)...

Had a first journey on the new Yutong T1A route from Aberystwyth to Carmarthen on Saturday 24th June. Chronology 9.41 T1A departed with 5 passengers. For some reason the T1C was sitting at the opposite side of the bus station at 9.32 but did not move to pick up passengers until the T1A left...

Yes agree with Roger. Poor publicity, connections, ridership and routes introduced without any assessment of the value for money they might or might not provide. This has all been covered before. The publicity is worse now than it ever was and Roger's example of the 460 is a perfect example...

Mmm. The Traffic Commissioners Commissioner interprets it the way I interpret it. He did stop the illegal 10 minute delayed departures in Dolgellau. (Further Explanation on its way). I am also certain that interpreting the Traffic Commissioner's Guidelines is not vexatious. I also think you...

Forgot to mention this in my last post. I was not making up flows. I did NOT mention using the T2 and T1 go to Carmarthen for London services, nor did I mention using the T1 to Aber then T2 to Mach to catch the train. The comment I made was in relation to the T2 waits in Dolgellau to wait for...

You must be right it is North Wales. Take the T3 . It was impossible in 2016 for it to meet the Traffic Commissioners Guidelines that 95% of services reached timing points no more than 5 minutes late and the T3 still does not meet the guidelines.now. The non compliance is at such a level that...

The Service Delivery Groups for each individual Trawscymru Service are chaired by the Trawscymru Network Manager (TNM, a Welsh Government/WG Official) and comprise of representatives from the Bus Companies running the service, the Contract Managers (the County Council responsible for the service...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-57392568 The logic appears to be that “trains get much more passengers than buses” therefore we should invest in trains that encourage people to make unnecessary journeys with their bikes whilst ignoring the rest of the population who want to...

The purpose of Trawscymru should be to provide efficient, fast, direct long distance bus services between the major towns of Wales. The purpose should be wherever possible to link Trawscymru long distance services with the mainline train networks. Local bus services should then feed the long...

My mistake . I took the T3 times from the Wrexham Council website, which gave only a single time at the Corwen Interchange which were as follows . Corwen T3 to Barmouth times 0955 1155 1310 1410 1610 1710 1810 2125 https://www.wrexham.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2021-01/t3_barmouth.pdf...

The connectivity of the T8 with the T3 in Corwen can in no way be described as good and has to be examined and questioned. The 2020 North Wales Regional Bus Strategy said the rationale for the T8, (then the T16), in terms of the Trawscymru Network was to link with the T3 (Wrexham to Barmouth)...

The WG did give notice of the T8 route (then referred to as the T16) over 2 years ago in July 2020 when Gwynedd Council published the 2020 North Wales Regional Bus Strategy carried out by the ex Flintshire Council Head of Transport, who runs the Busman Transport Consultancy based in Mold...

Oh how I wish the T1S was still operational which I used to use in order to get to Morriston Hospital. I now use T1C to junction 44 and the 31 bus from junction 44 to Morriston Hospital. This route is perfectly feasible but not obvious via the integrated transport blurb. Anyone wishing to use...

You have misunderstood. There would be no competition with the X28 as the T12 would depart from Aberystwyth and travel to Newtown via Llangurig (Links to Rhayader 9 miles away , population 2000, and the South). This would also allow another major town Llanidloes with a population higher than...

The argument regarding T19/train is similar to 2 Local Bus services versus T11 Trawscymru Connect. Whilst in theory a sensible option it does not necessarily lead to passenger growth. How will we know whether the T19/train concept works? That requires detailed research on patronage compared the...

The basic problem with any discussion on Trawscymru is the lack of published information on research on new routes, service reliability and passenger numbers. There is no way to measure success of the network without this information, which the Welsh Government are not publishing. In terms of...

As pointed out above the slow, ponderous T12 has been cobbled together from services that already existed as Local Services and already had a fan base. It does cover a similar route you can do by train starting off in Machynleth, visiting Newtown and Welshpool and ending up in Wrexham. However...

The T10 was predicted to carry few passengers by this forum when it was first mooted and introduced. Unfortunately whilst there are plenty of people reporting low numbers on the T10 the proof of the pudding would be in a comparison of Annual passenger numbers across the network. This would...

The T5 and the loop from Aberystwyth bus station to the University. The loop to the University has been discontinued due to objections from the drivers, who have said there is not enough time to do the loop and there were no passengers using the loop. The on-line timetables and the printed...

Thank you very interesting that this info is available. Just looked now. Lots of activity in Cardiff, and around Porth and Pontypridd, none in Swansea some in Wrexham and North Wales coast Everywhere else in Wales absolute zero, but nearly 11 pm,.
