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 !!!
|
|
Unlike any of the official websites, it
also shows later alternative
non-Sherpa journeys (where available) as well as offering options
if you are unfortunate enough to miss the last Sherpas |
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 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 may need some careful pre-planning to ensure you can get back
home
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
