Enhanced TrawsCymru summer boost for two key routes
Transport for Wales is enhancing its TrawsCymru services this summer by increasing services on two key routes across Wales to meet growing demand.
From Sunday 28 March, passengers travelling on the T4 and T10 TrawsCymru routes will benefit from increased frequency during the summer months, with additional journeys added on weekends, bank holidays and school holidays.
With summer approaching, more people are taking the chance to explore Wales’ beautiful landscapes and popular destinations.
The timetable changes for these routes include: T10 (Bangor – Betws-y-Coed – Corwen), hourly services will run between Betws-y-Coed and Bangor on weekends, and on weekdays during school holidays, and T4 (Merthyr Tydfil – Brecon – Newtown), where the timetable frequency will be increased to an hourly service between Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
From 13 April there will be additional minor amendments to the T4 timetable to improve punctuality and reliability.
Mark Jacobs, Senior Planning and Development Manager for TrawsCymru said: “As we move into the summer months, these enhancements will make it even easier for people to explore the best of Wales.
“We want to make bus travel easier and by increasing frequency on these two popular routes, we hope to see even more passengers on board this summer.”

Developing routes in areas with lower population densities is a sensible approach; plus this is being done gradually, not through a big-bang approach. A lot of Swansea’s over 70s are now travelling more by bus / train outside of school holidays – that age group strangely gets high increases to their pensions and have high disposable incomes. The challenge for transport operators is to engage with that demographic who do not use social media / respond to surveys. Hopefully Jon Gowers book on train travel throughout Wales will be sold in lots of bookshops at cost – then maybe TfW… Read more »
The T4 service should start/finish at Cardiff. The people of Powys no longer have a direct link to their own Capital City.
