note specially - currently the "6B" service only operates northbound between Betws-y-Coed/Capel Curig and Llyn Ogwen
SUNDAYS also Public Holidays sherpasundaysnetwork

B E W A R E ....................... !!!
Car Parking in Snowdonia is very limited and can be VERY expensive even if a space can be found
(Parking your car on one of the many "clearways" is illegal and you will get a hefty fine !)

The alternative is to leave your car behind and use the
Snowdon Sherpa Bus network

STOP PRESS (1)
Llew Jones has revised their connecting "19" and "X19" journeys from Llandudno along both sides of the Conwy Valley commencing Monday 2nd November 2020

STOP PRESS (2)
Gwynfor have just confirmed the 1730 "S2" Sherpa from Betws-y-Coed to Llanberis WIlL now be extended to Caernarfon - as it was all summer
This means there is an 1810 local journey from Llanberis - 'one hour' later than the last "88" at 1710 !!!!!

IMPORTANT..........
The "winter 2020-2021" Shrepa timetables have been advanced to commence on Saturday 24th October (co-terminous with the all-Wales 'two week' lock down)
The daily "S2" reverts to the standard "one bus" two hourly service without the late journeys
The connecting weekdays only "S4" from Caernarfon to Pen-y-Pass terminates at Beddgelert and to compensate the "S97" from Porthmadog to Beddgelert is extended to Pen-y-Pass --- minor changes to many times and again without the late journeys

REMEMBER..........
Unfortunately, many official websites (including the TravelineCymru "Journey Planner") continue to show journeys which have either been "WITHDRAWN" or are currently "SUSPENDED"
These are also included below as a warning - to help you avoid being caught out !!!

Please bookmark this page and revisit nearer the time to see if there have been any changes or further SUSPENSIONS from the limited official information when this page was last updated

Any journey shown on all pages on this website with a "strike through" line is still be operating, BUT it is NO LONGER possible to get a connection back to the start location of this page - eg

~~1234~~

This "unofficial" website attempts to show what is available
and to encourage greater also use includes some suggested
"trips round Snowdonia - without your car"
