SUMMARY OF SNOWDON SHERPA NETWORK - SUMMER 2024
UPDATE.....
Monday 22nd July 2024
    In an attempt to avoid late running due to excessive traffic in the Porthmadog area,  Lloyds Coaches will re-route the majority of its Northbound "G23" journeys (from Barmouth to Porthmadog) via the by-pass,  then run from north to south through Porthmadog before continuing to Minffordd
    Southbound journeys/connections will remain unaltered
VERY IMPORTANT
    There will NO LONGER be sufficiaent time to connect at Porthmadg Parc into the "S4" Sherpa to Beddgelert and Pen-y-Pass on these journeys
    If you arrive via the by-pass,  you are STRONGLY ADVISED to alight at the Brisish Rail station bus stop,  cross the road and join the "S4" Sherpa there - if in any doubt where to alight,  ask the "G23" driver when you JOIN the bus (afterwards may be too late !!!)


    Increase in the level of service for the Summer Sherpa routes (commencing Saturday 23rd March 2024) have been announced..........

    The level of "S1" Sherpa journeys via Pen-y-Pass and Llanberis" remains basically hourly - with the first and pen-ultimate journeys reinstated (they were suspended for the winter)

    "S2" Sherpa journeys from Bangor to Pen-y-Pass via Llanberis are again extended to operate to Pen-y-Pass on the 'alternate' half-hour to the "S1" giving a minimum summer headway of "every 30 minutes" from Llanberis
    This is augmented by exrea "S5" "shuttle journeys" at peak timss,  giving a bus every 15 minutes along the busy "core" section

    The level of "S3" Sherpa journeys along the western side of Snowdon is increased to hourly
with the last 1902 summer return journey from Beddgelert reinstated

    The level of "S4" Sherpa journeys along the Nant Gwynant pass has again been increased to basically hourly BUT BEWARE alternate journeys DO NOT OPERATE ON LOCAL SCHOOL DAYS
- see journeys headed "S+GSH" against a white background for details
    Most journeys are extended to Morfa Bychan on both weekdys and Sundays

    All the additional "S5" "Park and Ride" journeys which were SUSPENDED for the winter are reinstated

    The level of the "T10" Traws-Cymru service
(serving Tryfam - Llyn Ogwen) is considerably increased - especially at weekends - BUT this does not start until Sunday 24th March - one day later than the Sherpas

    The very limited "19" bus service from Llandudno along the Conwy Valley continues unaltered with the last direct return journey from Betws-y-Coed STILL at 1520
- with later slower journeys via the Ogwen pass
    Several outward journeys involve nearly an hour's wait at Betws-y-Coed - time for a 'cuppa'
    These are augmented by trains on the scenic 'Conwy Valley Railway Line


from the Cambrian coast to the mountains of Snowdonia

  B E W A R E ....................... !!!
Car Parking in Snowdonia is very limited and can be expensive if a space can be found

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

    REMEMBER..........
    Due to so many last-minute changes to the various services in the area,  unfortunately many official websites (including the TravelineCymru "Journey Planner") continue to show journeys which have either been "CHANGED" or sometimes even "WITHDRAWN"
    Where known,  these are also included below as a warning - to help avoid you being caught out !!!


    Please bookmark and revisit nearer the time to check if there have been any further known changes since your last visit to this page

    Journeys shown on this website with a "strike through" line are still operating,  BUT it is NO LONGER possible to get a (bus) connection back to the start location of the page - eg
 1703 

    Throughout Snowdonia there are unfortunately numerous cases of "sub-standard" connections which are NOT recognised by the TravelineCymru "Journey Planner"
(as they are less than 5 minutes) - eg
10.42 10.38
or
19.35 19.35
    Although this website strongly advises you NOT to 'chance' them..........
..........they are included to draw your attention to the fact that if everything is 'spot on time' and you are "very quick" - it can sometimes get you to your destination considerably earlier



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