Welcome  to  John's  Snowdon Sherpa  website

* * *   ....... All Sherpa Winter timetables are now operating Despite the revised services having already started,  several official websites as well as many bus stop displays have not yet been (fully) updated There were further updates to some "3-3B(X3)" connecting services from Pwllheli and Blaenau Ffestiniog which commenced on Monday 28th January 2019 PLEASE NOTE SPECIALLY the connection into the first weekday eastbound Sherpa from Porthmadog will run 15 MIMUTES EARLIER from Pwllheli at 0755 commencing Monday 4th February There are also changes to the "13" connections from Prestatyn/Colwyn Bay at Llandudno Junction as well as the "5C-5/X5" onward connections at Caernarfon 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 some are still not yet fully updated Numerous 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 local bus and train 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 more than adequate for most journeys even in the mid-winter, but you need some careful pre-planning It also gives some ideas in the form of suggested itineries for "days out" to Snowdionia both from locations on the Sherpa Network itself AND  from further afield using the various connecting servivces It concentrates of giving the real "facts" rather than attempting to look "fancy" !!! 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

Gwynfor "S4" Sherpa         Pen-y-Pass - Beddgelert - Caernarfon   Betws-y-Coed - Pen-y-Pass - Llanberis   Gwynfor "S2" Sherpa         mid-winter at Pen-y-Pass           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         Gwynfor "S97" Sherpa   Porthmadog - Beddgelert   Conwy Valley connections         LLew Jones "X19" from Llandudno

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 Important - the "S97" does NOT normally continue beyond Beddgelert* * - Some of the new Sunday Beddgelert - Pen-y-Pass and v.v. journeys now show "S97" on the front of the bus in one direction and "S4" in the other and often only "Beddgelert" until they reach that point if they start from Porthmadog or Caernarfon THERE IS ALWAYS ONLY ONE BUS - SO DON'T GET LEFT BEHIND !!! (see instead the "S4" between Beddgelert and Pen-y-Pass and the S2" between Pen-y-Pass and Betws-y-Coed) Use 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 was diverted to Pen-y-Pass withdrawn again for the winter 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 now only show "S4" (although some of the new Sunday journeys MAY again revert to "S97") - the section between Pen-y-Pass and Capel Curig should now show "S2" and "S6" - the section between Capel Curig and 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 weekdays The correct current routes are shown on the diagrams below and on the timetables throughout this website Weekdays Sundays and Public Holidays A new limited direct Sunday "S4" Sherpa service between Caernarfon and Rhyd Ddu was introduced from Sunday 11th November which will augment the limited alternative connecting journeys via Porthmadog/Pen-y-Groes The summer "S6" Sherpa service from Bethesda to Betws-y-Coed via the Ogwen Valley was diverted to Pen-y-Pass for Summer 2018 (BUT it is now suspended again for the winter - it is expected to re-commence for next Easter) 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) SUSPENDED for the winter 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 (now includes limited through services between Beddgelert - Rhyd Ddu - Caernarfon on Sunday) S6 - Bethesda - Capel Curig - Llanberis (Two return journeys on summer Saturdays and Sundays ONLY) SUSPENDED for the winter 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 2019 ! 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 Sundays 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 by train) 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 !!!

Winter 2018-19 Sherpa Timetables are now in operation and are expected to continue until Friday 12th April 2019 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 DO MAKE SURE YOU KEEP RE-VISITING TO CHECK FOR ANY FURTHER LATE CHANGES --- especially to CONNECTING journeys 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 applied throughout 2018 and will no doubt again apply throughout 2019 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 winter are MUCH earlier ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Betws-y-Coed at 16.50      (Betws-y-Coed at 1650 on Sundays) Llanberis (for Caernarfon) at 17.55      (Llanberis at 1755 on Sundays) Note the last' all-year-round' weekday and Sunday "S2" Sherpa with an "88" connection back to Caernarfon departs 1610 Beddgelert at 16.35    (Beddgelert at 1645 on Sundays) Porthmadog at 1430 and a later connection at 16.35 but note there is a long wait at Beddgelert on the later journey    (Porthmadog at 1645 on Sundays) with the former connection back to Barmouth re-instated Caernarfon via Beddgelert at 16.35    (Caernarfon via Beddgelert at 1435) but there is also a later service via Llanberis at 1610 Make sure you are down from the mountain in time and and don't get stranded at Pen-y-Pass ! BEWARE     most departure sheets at bus-stops have been updated with the revised winter times - always carefully check the issue date at the bottom left of the display at your stop rather than risking ending up waiting for a non-existant journey !!! 2018-2019 Timetable Betws-y-Coed departure sheet 2018 (still showing summer S2" journeys) The Conwy CC 2018-19 timetables booklet (commencing 29th May) can also be viewed "on line" Printed copies are also now available They give details of all the bus services in the Conwy County area including all the Sherpa Network as well as details of the Conwy Valley Railway Line services but so far there are no updates to show the usual "halving" of both the "S2" Sherpa service or the greatly reduced level of connecting "X19 journeys from and back to Llandudno <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<                                 BEWARE - the Summer 2018 Sherpa Timetable leaflet is now 'out if date' as it no longer includes the winter service - unlike last year                               >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>     * - Still NO "6B" timetable (along the Ogwen Valley) shown in either their printed booklet or included on their website - it started operating back in early-2015) despite now being included in the index to places served and on the maps !!! BEWARE     most departure sheets at bus-stops have yet to be updated with the revised REDUCED LEVEL OF winter times - so carefully check the issue date at the bottom left of the display at your stop rather than ending up waiting for a non-existant journey !!!   YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!! (2nd 2018 edition cover) The Denbighshire CC 2018 printed timetables and updated on-line timetables are now available UPDATE     There has been five versions of their on-line timetable since the start of 2017 - including two last year - some of which still stem from the earlier demise of GHA     If you have already saved a copy of ANY of their tables, make sure you have downloaded the correct version - if in doubt DELETE it and start again     Despite all the re-issues,   it still showes the same OUT OF DATE connecting "70" journeys from Corwen --- see this website or confirm the correct times from the Llew Jones website - but note the service ONLY runs on Tuesdays (Llanrwst Market Day) and Saturdays ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     DON'T GET CAUGHT OUT ! no printed Timetables   GWYNFOR COACHES         This company are now operating the whole of the Sherpa network on both weekdays and Sundays Their website has been updated to reflect the winter Unfortunately all the Sherpa "timetable" links still show the "error" message Roedd gwall wrth prosesu eich cais / There was an error while processing your request However the 'up-to-date' information CAN BE FOUND on this website or confirmed from the Gwynedd CC one as well REVISED Sherpa journeys between Pen-y-Pass - Beddgelert - Porthmadog ARE NOW OPERATING See this website for details and confirm from the Gwynedd CC website ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BEWARE........     Their "S4" and "S97" timetable pages fail to show some journeys on arrival at Beddgelert immediately continue to Porthmadog or Caernarfon respectivcely     So IGNORE the TravelineCymru "Journey Planner" advice to wait around in the cold for the following journey !!!!!   YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!     So much for integrated timetable planning ! Most Timetables on thier website have been updated but there are still several errors   LLEW JONES     They have drastically reduced the level of their connecting "X19" service from Llandudno along the east side of the Conwy Valley   YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!     At the request of Conwy CC,  Llew Jones have RETIMED their 'subsidised' 1840 Sunday "19" journey from Betws-y-Coed to Llandudno (in order to connect off the last Summer "S2" Sherpa from Llanberis due 1832) but they STILL have not bothered to correct their website !!! no printed timetables ALTHOUGH - the TravelineCymru "Journey Planner" is now showing the revised winter Sherpa journeys .... ..... several connecting services are still not yet updated with the further "last minute" changes   YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!

Summer 2019 Sherpa Timetables normally commence on "the Saturday before Easter Weekend" (ie - Saturday 14th April) and are expected to continue until the start of November 2019 So far despite being less than two months away there is no official information available It is reasonable to expect something "similar" to Summer 2018 but detailed changes are always possible ! 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 REMEMBER.......... at this stage,  the above only represent the SORT OF SERVICE TO EXPECT (based on last year) by both the Sherpas themselves and connecting journeys Make sure you re-visit this page nearer the time to check if there are to be any changes and confirm from official websites WHEN they are updated
