They should accept Contactless. I have to buy the Day Ticket on the T1C which you cannot buy on the app but can but onboard via contactless. As far as I am aware they should ALL accept contactless!

Lloyds do accept contactless. Not sure on some of the others.
I think your biggest problem will be finding drivers who know about the ticket and know they can and how to issue it.

Lloyds definitely have contactless.
Would be interesting to get a report if you use the T10, as to whether you can get a seat

All North Wales operators should accept Contactless payments. They were all given a Contactless-enabled Ticketer machine last year.

All Lloyds Coaches services, including T2, T3 and T12, accept card payments.

Unfortunately they seem to be a law onto themselves lately, being the only operator to refuse to accept the new 1bws on their commercial 28 service.

They have gone massively downhill in recent years. Seems like they are running things down.
Who paid for all the contactless machines if they were 'given' to operators?

Why is there something I need to know?

Er no - there's been some speculation as to how busy the route will actually be (i.e. will you have any more than could be carried in a family sized people carrier rather than a Tempo, or if you'll have anyone to Corwen?)
I will be doing the Corwen to Bangor section.

I would be interested to know how many passengers will be on your T10 journey.
Has anyone else used/seen the T10 in operation and what are loadings like, especially east of Betws-y-Coed?

I'll be using it as a passenger on the 1015 from Corwen to Bangor on Friday so will report back

I saw a T10 start off from Bangor at the end of August (see post 2143), and roughly six people boarded at the origin (Bangor bus station). This was roughly half 8 in the morning.

It's probably more a question of the eastern end of the route. You could imagine a few punters travelling from Bangor to places like Capel or Betws or getting off at Ogwen Cottage. However, be interesting to see how many travel from Betws to Corwen

Anyone travelling Betws-Corwen might prefer the Fflecsi service. Roger French recounts his journey here.It's probably more a question of the eastern end of the route.

Only if it operates on the day they need - it's only 3 days a week!
Personally I'd always choose timetabled over DRT - my personal experience of DRT is very poor indeed.

The fflecsi service to Corwen no longer operates since the introduction of the T10. I have used the 10:15 from Corwen twice myself personally. Only 3 passengers (including myself) boarding at Corwen. Didn't pick any passengers up until Betws y Coed.

So we caught the 1015 T10 from Corwen today. There was only us and 1 other to Llyn Ogwen where the bus started picking up 6 damp ramblers, and that was it till Bangor.

Can't say I'm surprised
It is. Which, as far as I remember, were registered inaccurately!

Agree. The original concept was T10 Bangor to Chirk/Oswestry linking with the T3 in Corwen. The logic was to bring into play the population of Oswestry and Chirk to use the underutilised T3 route to Barmouth.Can't say I'm surprised
Oswestry to Corwen would have fitted the bill but only 22 miles so hence the T10 Bangor to Chirk/Oswestry . The T10 Bangor to Corwen route is certainly a puzzling choice.

For the Conwy Valley I believe. Makes the DMU rather hard to justify!
The Welsh Government have an "ambition for a zero emission bus, taxi and private hire vehicle fleet by 2028" - I wonder if they have any idea yet how they are going to deliver on that policy.
Are they not also intended for another new TrawsCymru route from Bangor-Caernarfon-Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog? Virtually a revival of the old Express Motors 1 & 2.
I gather the main charging facilities are to be in Blaenau Ffestiniog, using hydro-electric power.
A route of about 40 miles, but with some quite impressive hills!

The depot's to be at Tanygrisiau, on Blaenau's outskirts. Depot details were included in the tender for the T22 Caernarfon-Port-Blaenau route, which was briefly discussed on this thread at the time. (Posts 1900 onwards.)
