Welcome  to  John's  Snowdon Sherpa  website

* * *   ....... All Sherpa Summer timetables are now in operation

LATEST.......... Although the have not been any changes to the Sherpa service themselves since the start of the summer timetables in April there have been numerous changes to the connections from.......... Bangor  Barmouth  Blaenau Ffestiniog  Caernarfon  Colwyn Bay  Conwy  Corwen  Harlech  Llandudno and Pwllheli  Make sure you check the latest version of these timetable    YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!! If you spot any error, please contact me here with the details so it can be quickly corrected for the benefit of the many other visitors to this website ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please keep looking here for the latest situation - you can see if there have been any further changes to this website by checking to see if the date at the bottom of this and every other page is later than on your previous visit A FULL ROUND-UP OF THE OFFICIAL WEBSITES CAN BE FOUND ON MY CONTACTS PAGE BEWARE many are not yet fully updated and some are ONLY partially amended Several errors have been spotted and these are highlighted to help you avoid falling for WRONG INFORMATION Always better to be "fore-warned" than to be "caught out" !!! (especially in Snowdonia where it is a long walk if you miss a 'non-existent' bus)

This is the ONLY website about the "Snowdon Sherpa" bus network which is regularly updated with all the news,  mid-timetable corrections and service changes for both the Snowdon Sherpa services and all the connecting journeys !!! This website is produced purely as a hobby to help promote greater use of the limited public transport to and across Snowdonia which IS quite adequate for most journeys with some pre-planning Comprehensive accurate official publicity for ALL services in Snowdonia is difficult - if not impossible - to find and unfortunately bus operators and councils often only show "their" journeys It also attempts to warn visitors of potential "pitfalls" advised to me by others and highlights numerous known errors in official publications ( "always far better to be 'pre-warned' than 'caught out' !!!! " ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sherpa journeys are normally shown in GREEN with other bus journeys and connections in blue or black Mid--timetable earlier re-timing are normally shown in BOLD BLUE (eg 0920) and "warnings" about connections, regular overcrowding, etc. shown as "# - xxxxxxxxx" Where available - later services via alternative non-Sherpa routes are shown to prevent anyone being stranded - see individual tables for details These are normally shown against a "gold" background Sherpa tickets are not valid on these journeys but Red Rover Day Tickets are Most Sherpa weekday journeys run every day but some operate either restricted days, dates  and/or  LOCAL school holiday periods (which are not always the same for Caernarfon, Conwy, Llanberis, Llanrwst or Porthmadog schools - and very often differ from those "across the border") These are identified by an appropriate note and usually times are shown against a white background as an additional warning Times at some intermediate locations vary by a few minutes in different official publications Throughout this website, the earliest know time is used to ensure passenegers can arrive in sufficient time to catch their Sherpa Remember many roads in Snowdonia are very narrow and as a result of this some Sherpa journeys can be delayed considerably by heavy traffic - so don't panic ! Throughout this website, clicking on underlined text will lead to another page or picture --- IF this is another timetable it will be the current page and it may be necessary to follow the links on that page to a later period To help you find your way round this website there is a timetable index at the bottom of every page with the page you are currently viewing shown in blue Always check the page issue date in case there have been any updates since you last looked !!! As with all websites,  errors can occasionally creep in, but your webmaster always appreciates advice about anything, including any out of date page, links, etc. so it can be immediately corrected for the benefit of the many other visitors to this website

this is an unofficial website and the latest times should always be confirmed from the individual timetables on one of the County Council or another official website  along with any subsequent amendments thereto

All Year       former Express Motors Sherpa   (Betws-y-Coed to Llanberis)   Summer only             Snowdon Sherpa   Bus Timetables unofficial website Sherpa Network "S1" - summer only "S2" daily all-year "S4" weekdays all-year "S6" summer weekends only "S97" daily all-year         weekday Gwynfor "S97" Sherpa     Porthmadog - Beddgelert - Pen-y-Pass         Sunday Arriva "S97" Sherpa

R E M E M B E R ....................... !!! Car Parking in Snowdonia is very limited and can be expensive if a space can be found (the popular one at Pen-y-Pass is often full before 0900 on fine summer days) The alternative is to leave your car behind and use the Snowdon Sherpa Bus network This "unofficial" website attempts to show what is available by all operators It contains composite timetables of connecting services on a cross-Snowdonia route basis where a change of bus is usually necessary --- hopefully it will help you plan your days out It also includes some suggested "trips round Snowdonia - without your car"

The majority of Snowdon Sherpa bus services are operated by modern low-floor minibuses but are sometimes replaced by a larger bus during busy periods There is no specific requirement for groups to pre-book, but ANY parties are advised in their own interests to ring the operator the day before to ensure a sufficiently large bus or duplicate is provided Squeezing even half-a-dozen extra passengers into a small minibus can sometimes be quite a challenge !!!!

BEWARE.... Large wooden "Poster boards" with a network map appeared during summer 2011 at strategic locations throughout Snowdonia but unfortunately they STILL contain some incorrect route numbers Most important - the "S97" does NOT continue beyond Beddgelert (see instead the "S4" between Beddgelert and Pen-y-Pass and the S2" between Pen-y-Pass and Betws-y-Coed) Far more worrying the former open-top Arriva "S2" Sherpa service north of Llanrwst (with actually started from Llandudno, NOT the Junction) was withdrawn at the end of the 2009 season ! (see the alternative current Conwy Valley bus services which connect with the "S2" Sherpa at Betws-y-Coed) The "S6" section of the network between Capel Curig and Bethesda (which had been completely withdrawn for a couple of years) was reinstated to operate ON SUMMER SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS ONLY - but in 2018 is diverted to Pen-y-Pass The "S6" augments the very limited 'all-year-round' weekdays only " 6B" commuter service along the Ogwen Valley --- the return "6B" evening journey will extended from Llyn Ogwen as far as Capel Curig (for Llanberis), Betws-y-Coed and/or Llanrwst on request for passengers returning later from the Ogwen Valley and Tryfan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In addition, Gwynedd CC have produced a poster and associated leaflet for the Tourist Information Centres showing the principal bus routes in their county area but unforunately yet again the revised associated map contains route number errors as well as still showing sections of route no longer served......   The following errors within the Snowdon Sherpa network area should be noted... a) the "S97" does NOT continue beyond Beddgelert to Pen-y-Pass and Betws-y-Coed - the section between Bedgelert and Penygwryd should nowonly show "S4" - the section between Pen-y-Pass and Capel Curig should now show "S2" and "S6" - the section between Capel Curigand Betws-y-Coed should only show "S2" b) the "S6" was again re-instated in 2017, but only on summer Saturdays,  Sundays and Public Holidays and will be diverted to Pen-y-Pass in 2018     (these augment the very limited non-Sherpa "6B" weekday bus service) c) the last evening service "1" from Porthmadog to Pen-y-Groes via Beddgelert was withdrawn many years ago - the ONLY service between Porthmadog and Beddgelert is now the "S97" d) Most "S4" journeys now operate to/from Pen-y-Pass on both weekdays and Sundays The correct current routes are shown on the diagrams below and on the timetables throughout this website Weekdays Sundays and Public Holidays There is NO LONGER any direct Sunday "S4" Sherpa service between Caernarfon and Rhyd Ddu but there are limited alternative connecting journeys via Porthmadog and the former Arriva Sunday "S97" will be split at Beddgelert into "S97" and "S4" operated by Gwynfor - to match weekdays The summer "S6" Sherpa service from Bethesda to Betws-y-Coed via the Ogwen Valley is diverted to Pen-y-Pass Current Snowdon Sherpa services are........ S1 - Llanberis - Nant Peris - Pen-y-Pass (extra spring/summer/autumn "Park and Ride" journeys via Nant Peris Car Park on Saturdays only) S2 - Llanberis - Pen-y-Pass - Capel Curig - Betws-y-Coed (direct services - one morning journey and one afternoon journey extends to/starts from Llanrwst on local School Days only) S4 - Pen-y-Pass - Beddgelert - Rhyd Ddu - Caernarfon (no service between Rhyd Ddu and Caernarfon on Sunday) S6 - Bethesda - Capel Curig - Llanberis (Two return journeys on summer Saturdays and Sundays ONLY) These augment the very limited non-Sherpa weekdays only "6B" service which provides a useful later connection back to Betws-y-Coed or Llanberis (NOT mid-winter) for those visiting Tryfan S97 - Beddgelert - Porthmadog (note - the mid-afternoon journey from Porthmadog diverts via the School on School Days with extended journey time ) in ALL cases some journeys do NOT operate the whole of the route also some journeys are diverted en-route - see also individual timetables for details of  'through' and 'connecting' cross-Snowdonia journeys Make sure you use the Snowdon Sherpas in 2018 ! Please do your bit to help the environment by keeping all unnecesary cars out of Snowdonia                   If you MUST take you car - remember many roads in Snowdonia are designated "clearways" (ensure you park at an appropriate location or you are likely to end up with a hefty parking fine !!!!!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Much easier, cheaper and greener to use the Snowdon Sherpas !!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That way you can go up Snowdon by one path and return down by another

Several different operators cover the Sherpa network AND connecting services - especially on Sunday Generally speaking, to give you maximum flexibility, the best ticket for travelling to, round and returning from Snowdonia for a whole day is the £6.80 Red Rover available from the driver of your first bus (or a North Wales Day Rover if travelling from further afield) So make sure you select and ask for the appropriate ticket for ALL of your proposed itineraries as many companies also offer their own day rover, which are only valid on their services !!!

Summer 2018 Sherpa Timetables are now in operation Gwynedd CC have now added all Sherpa Timetables to their website and Conwy CC have added the "S2" timetable(which operates in their area but there is still no update on the operator (Gwynfor)'s own website The following is a summary of the changes.......... 1) the additional Saturday "S1" 'Park and Ride' Sherpa journeys will be reinstated 2) the level of "S2" Sherpa service will be "doubled" to 10 journeya a day 3) the weekend "S6" Sherpa services will be reinstated, but diverted to PenypPass It was "hoped" some of the very tight last weekday connections (particularly those along the Nant Gwynant Pass) would be eased to make them more reliable, but INSTEAD they have completely severed them, resulting in NO ONWARD CONNECTIONS to..........       Snowdon Ranger YHA and Caernarfon at Beddgelert       or  Capel Curig YHA and Betws-y-Coed at Penygwryd off the last "S4" Sherpa journeys which serve the Watkin path in the Nant Gwynant Pass     So much for integrated timetable planning ! If you come across ANY changes not included on this website or spot any errors, please contact me here so they can quicky be updated for the benefit of the many other visitors to this website - Thank you DON'T  KNOW  YOUR  WAY ROUND  SNOWDONIA ? Anyone on the Coast wishing to spend a day in Snowdonia should find the Summary Timetable from Llandudno/North Wales Coast Summary Timetable from Bangor via Llanberis Summary Timetable from Barmouth/Harlech/Bl.Ffestiniog via Porthmadog or the Summary Timetable from Pwllheli/Criccieth via Porthmadog to all parts of Snowdonia served by the Sherpas a useful starting point as they now include notes as to which individual journeys WILL be withdtrawn for the winter DO MAKE SURE YOU KEEP RE-VISITING TO CHECK FOR ANY FURTHER LATE CHANGES --- especially CONNECTING journeys by other operators NO printed Timetables available yet again ! Gwynedd CC is the only North Wales Council not to produce a printed version of their bus service timetables - instead,  some local offices now charge 10p for every sheet they print off the internet for you !!!!! (This is despite ALL official Gwynedd CC Tourist Information Centres have closed !!! although some Snowdonia Information Centres, such at Beddgelert, still remain) This arrangement is to again apply throughout 2018 despite justifiable pressure from the local tourist industry However you can download the same information direct from the Gwynedd CC official website Pen-y-Pass Sherpa bus stop REMEMBER Many last Sherpas from Pen-y-Pass during the summer are much later ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Betws-y-Coed at 16.50 and 18.10      (Betws-y-Coed at 1650 and 1810 on Sundays) Llanberis (for Caernarfon) at 17.55 and 19.05      (Llanberis at 1755 and 1905 on Sundays) Beddgelert at 16.30 and 18.15    (Beddgelert at 1612 and 1810 on Sundays) Porthmadog at 14.30 and 18.15    ( Porthmadog at 1432 and 1810 on Sundays) Caernarfon via Beddgelert at 14.30 and 16.30 BEWARE:-  whilst there is a new summer 1815 weekday "S4" Sherpa from Pen-y-Pass.......... IT DOES NOT OPERATE BEYOND RHYD DDU   to Snowdon Ranger YHA or Caernarfon   Caernarfon passengers should use the new later 1905 "S2" journey via Llanberis instead (see above)   Snowdon Ranger passengers have no option but to waik (or get a taxi) from Rhyd Ddu   Ironically the last " S4" journey to Caernarfon leaves Beddgelert just a few minutes earlier !    (Caernarfon via Beddgelert - NO SUNDAY SERVICE)   Caernarfon passengers should use the new later 1905 "S2" journey via Llanberis instead   Snowdon Ranger passengers have no option but to waik (or get a taxi) from Rhyd Ddu Make sure you are down from the mountain in time and and don't get stranded at Pen-y-Pass !

WHAT AN "OWN GOAL" !!!     INSTEAD of improving the very tight, unrelaible last connections which applied in 2017,  they have completely severed them,  resulting in NO ONWARD CONNECTIONS to..........         Snowdon Ranger YHA and Caernarfon at Beddgelert         or Capel Curig YHA and Betws-y-Coed at Penygwryd ..........off the last "S4" Sherpa journeys which serve the Watkin path in the Nant Gwynant Pass     So much for integrated timetable planning !   YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!! AND ANOTHER" !!!     Their "new" 1100 Sunday "S97" Sherpa from Porthmadog - which now continues to Pen-y-Pass as an S4" after diverting to serve Rhyd Ddu - leaves just FIVE minutes before the ONLY morning northbound "T2" service from Dolgellau (ironically after a wide connection off "their" "2" service from Barmouth at Maentwrog)     If the "T2" arrives sligtly early it is sometimes just possibled to connect if you are quick - getting you to Snowdonioa over 2 1/2 hours earlier !!!     So much for integrated timetable planning !   YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!! no printed timetables UPDATE     Most revised summer services are now live
