4A from next month will take over most of Route 6 so that is one route out the way.
Where have you seen proof of the route 35? I am yet to see any information on that.

Actually the 4/4A will cover the six but they wont cover the 6 until Monday 8th January.
That is because no information has been given publicly, if like me you know people then you'd know your self i am reliably informed and they WILL be running the 35 from today with minor route changes as stated.

Confirmed that Arriva are now operating the 35 service to.Plas Goulbourne. I travelled on it both ways this morning on an one of those horrid little Enviro 200's. The driver said that Arriva will update the timetable in due course, but they will be running at exactly the same times as Jones used to.

I was chatting to one of the supervisors and he was telling me that the management may revise the route to serve Huntsman's Corner in future. I think they might be better using solos or even Versa's on the route though as it can get quite busy at certain times of the day. I've never been a.fan of those Enviro 200's as they don't have many seats and I personally think they are ugly looking vehicles. But overall I'm grateful to.Arriva for taking the service on.

Someone asked on the Arriva buses Wales Facebook page if they would be doing the 146, and the reply was "this one has been picked up by Pats Coaches"
RE: D Jones & Son to Cease Trading - LJ51 DDA - 19/12/2017 19:47
Just had that confirmed for me Pats Coaches will be running the 146 when a vehicle is required they're looking at a former D Jones Versa.
