***  - BEWARE the weekday morning outward "6B" journey along the Ogwen Valley (for Tyfan) is erroneously shown on the Llew Jones website to start     from Llanrwst at 06.32 and only to operate on weekdays --- as it is basically a 'postioning' run (operated by a large "National Express" coach) for a journey from Bangor     It will only pick up at the stop outside the Church on the main road in Betws-y-Coed)   Unfortunately this is the ONLY northbound Ogwen Valley journey of the day     during the winter or mid-week in the summer - but although early, it does offer an opportunity to climb Tryfan for a flat single fare of just £1 !!!     Ring them on 01492 640 320 for confirmation of the latest position if you intend to travel then remind them their website is incorrect !!!     # - arrives 1545 on schooldays
