Snowdon Sherpa Bus Timetables


unofficial website






  ALL FARES SHOWN ON THIS PAGE ARE THE LATEST
"ADVISED" TO YOUR WEBMASTER


Most Gwynfor "S1" Sherpa services are just "£2" for a single journey to OR from Pen-y-Pass


If you intend to travel further into Snowdonia or travelling beyond Pen-y-Pass you are advised to purchase
a £5 Snowdon Sherpa Day Ticket

from the driver of your first Sherpa (valid on all "S1"  "S2"  "S4"  "S6" and "S97" Sherpas)
or a "1 bws" (one bus) Day Ticket if you want to travel to and from North Wales (outside the Sherpa network area) - including right "Round Snowdon"

  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

 TICKETS/FARES...............
Single (also return tickets for most journeys) are available on all Shrepa
services,  however..............


with the exception of a some VERY short journeys
it is much cheaper to take advantage of the various day "Rover" tickets
- these provide far more flexibility as walkers/tourists in Snowdonia can
"change the mind" or drop off at any point and join a later "Sherpa"
just purchase your ticket from the driver of your first bus


----------

 £7.00 for a " 1 bws" (one bus) Day Rover
- this not only enables you to travel right round Snowdon, 
but it is also valid for travel to and from the "Sherpa network" from
anywhere in North Wales  (ias far as Chester, Machynlleth and Whitchurch)

ALL drivers of all bus companies can issue the
"£7.00 "1 bws" Day Rover Ticket
(although some may need a little gentle persuasion.....!)

If you initially book on an Arriva or a Llew Jones or a Lloyds Coaches bus
MAKE SURE you do NOT SIMPLY ask for a "DAY" ticket or you may
"accidentally" be sold a slightly cheaper.....
"Arriva" (ONLY) day ticket
or a "Llew Jones (ONLY) day ticket"
or a "Lloyds Coaches (ONLY) day ticket"
(these ARE all excellent tickets in their own right,  BUT they are
NOT VALID on any other operators services
including the
Snowdon Sherpa Journeys !!!
)


This day ticket also has the advantage you can change your
travel plans as you go along - especially if the weather changes - and
it also gives you the flexibitily
to return home later by a different route if required

* - there is also a family version (up to 2 adults with up to 3 children) for £14.20
- and an English or Scottish concession pass holder version for just £4.50

----------
This ticket is basically REDUNDANT as the NEW cheaper "1 bws" ticket covers a much larger area.....(with the exception of Aberystwyth)
 £6.80 for a "Red Rover" - this not only includes the direct link between Caernarfon and Llanberis enabling you to travel right round Snowdon
but it is also valid for travel to and from the "Sherpa network" from
anywhere in Gwynedd (as well as Anglesey and Llandudno)
including all the Cambrian Coast resorts as far south as Aberystwyth

ALL drivers of all bus companies can of course issue the " £6.80 RED Rover Tickets"
(although some may need a little gentle persuasion !)

If you initially book on an Arriva or Llew Jones bus,  MAKE SURE
you do NOT simply ask for a "day" ticket or you may "accidentally" be sold a slightly cheaper "Arriva" (ONLY) £5.70 day ticket
or a "Llew Jones (ONLY) day ticket"
(these are both excellent tickets in their own right, BUT they are NOT VALID on
any other operators services - including ALL Snowdon Sherpa journeys
)


A "Red Rover" day ticket also has the advantage you can change your
travel plans as you go along and it also gives you the flexibitily
to return home later by a different route if required

----------
If travelling from further afield the combined Zonal "North Wales Day Rover" (main-line rail and bus) will usually be your most economical travel ticket to and around Snowdonia
For the purpose of this ticket, North Wales is divided into several "zones" and you can select which ones you want to cover your planned day out........
