IMPORTANT
STOP PRESS
Llew Jones has WITHDRAWN all their former "T19" connecting journeys from Llandudno and Blaenau Ffestiniog to/from Betws-y-Coed (for the "S1" Sherpa and the "T10" Traws-Cymru)
as per their earlier announcment

There are NO changes to any SHERPA journey as a result

Limited alternative connections are available using the "19" service from Llandudno
see below for revised connections - which all now operate along the west side of the Conwy Valley
via Conwy and Trefriw/Llanrwst and ASSUMES NO CHANGES to the "19" service

Please also check here to see if there are any last minute alterations to any Conwy Valley journey/s

Snowdon Sherpa Bus Timetables


    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the TravelineCymru "Journey Planner") continue to show journeys which have either been "CHANGED" or sometimes even "WITHDRAWN"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
 1234 

    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
18.35 18.37
    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 or the cost of a taxi



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"


Mondays to Saturdays - 7th November 2022 to 31st March 2023
NO service on Christmas DayBoxing Day or New Year's Day

  BEWARE..............
The last all-year weekday connecting "S4"-"S2" Sherpa service from
Beddgelert to Llanberis via Nant Gwynant and Pen-y-Pass departs at 1458

(a later connecting journey operates at 1758 in the summer only
but there are alternatove 'all-year-round' connections via Caernarfon)
Don't Dispair
    In the unlikely event you are unfortunate enough to miss the 14.58 "S4-S2" Sherpa via Pen-y-Pass
(change Sherpas).....
        or you decide you wish to spend longer in Beddgelert.....
        .....there are later "S3-S1" connections via Caernatfon at 1602 $  and 1702
        ..... --- also 1802 ..........but this now requires a "taxi" for the six miles from Caernarfon back to Llanberis
