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official websites (including the TravelineCymru "Journey Planner") continue to show journeys which have either been "WITHDRAWN" or are currently "SUSPENDED"     These are also included below as a warning - to help you avoid being caught out !!!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"

Sundays - 30th May 2021  until further notice also Public Holidays Late Spring Weekend Monday 31st May and Late Summer Weekend Monday 29th August

16.50 - Sherpa journey
* - normally worked by the same "through" bus
# - as this is less than five minutes,  it is NOT recognised as a connection by the TravelineCymru "Journey Planner" but if everything is spot on time and you are quick,     it is sometimes just possible to catch the previous "5C-5" journey - getting you back to Llandudno much earlier
M - departs from stop "M" outside Conwy railway station (also one minute later from Mount Pleasant stop) - alight off the "5" at "Town Ditch" stop     and walk under the arch across the road to the railway station     R - extends to Betws-y-Coed on request to the driver at or before Llanrwst
latest times should always be confirmed from the individual timetables on the official Gwynedd CC website or official Conwy CC website and any subsequent amendments thereto
