I would be very surprised if an operator the size of Arriva could not amass the necessary vehicles at such short notice.

Llew Jones have also registerd a Weekday X19 between Llandudno and Betws y Coed with certain journeys extending to/from Blaenau Ffestiniog.


Regarding the rumour my only guess is that they won’t bid for the 55/X5 when the Denbighshire tenders go live

Llew Jones is doing well at the moment. I suppose see what happens.

Still wondering where will all these buses be coming from. As each depot in North west & wales.saying.there short on buses.
