Transport for Wales is launching a public consultation for a potential new express coach service that would ‘transform connectivity’ between North and South Wales.
The proposed service would run between Bangor and Carmarthen, cutting journey times by 90 minutes compared to current public transport options. The express-stop service would call at key town centres and railway stations along Wales’ western coast, including Caernarfon, Porthmadog, Dolgellau, Machynlleth, and Aberystwyth.
Plans include running up to eight coaches per day, with modern on-board facilities suitable for longer journeys and integration with rail services for onward travel.
The public consultation is underway for four weeks from 3 March, with an online ‘have your say’ page where people can learn about the proposals and share their views via a survey.
TfW will also host three in-person engagement events across the route to meet bus users and potential users to talk more about the service.
