LATEST     Late June 2021     Following weeks of traffic chaos in the Caernarfon area,  a TEMPORARY revised,  reduced level "88" timetable will commence to try and improve timekeeping     Passenegrs intending to connect with the Sherpa at Llanberis should familiarise themselves with the changes before setting out BEWARE     There are some NEW "silly" zero minute connections at Llanberis which are NOT recognised as such by the TravelineCymru "Journey Planner"     You are STRONGLY advised NOT TO RISK them,  but if you are lucky and manage to make one,  it will get you there much quicker - yet another example of "failed" Integrated Timetable Planning in Snowdonia !!!

Snowdon Sherpa Bus Timetables

unofficial website

STOP PRESS     Alternative later Cambrian Coast Line "train" connection from Porthmadog added (new summer rail timetable from Monday 17th May)..... .....added as a 'safety net' for anyone missing the last onward bus connection     REMEMBER..........     Unfortunately,  many official websites (including the TravelineCymru "Journey Planner") continue to show journeys which have either been "WITHDRAWN" or are currently "SUSPENDED"     These are also included below as a warning - to help you avoid being caught out !!!     Please bookmark this page and revisit nearer the time to see if there have been any changes or further SUSPENSIONS from the limited official information when this page was last updated     Any journey shown on all pages on this website with a "strike through" line is still be operating,  BUT it is NO LONGER possible to get a connection back to the start location of this page - eg  1234  This "unofficial" website attempts to show what is available and to encourage greater also use includes some suggested "trips round Snowdonia - without your car"

Mondays to Saturdays - 23rd June 2021  until further notice except Public Holidays Late Summer Weekend Monday 29th August
