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

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  1333      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 11.30 11.34 or 09.15 09.12     Although this website strongly adviises 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"
