What bus changes mean to local passengers

* People going to Llangollen Railway

are affected by the D Jones bus situation.

The cessation of trading by D Jones reduces the Wrexham/Llangollen bus service to a 40 minutes frequency by Arriva Cymru.

This has implications for people arriving by train at Ruabon and Llangollen Railway has posted the following Facebook message which has been appreciated by visitors.

"Information regarding the change in Bus Services to Llangollen:

"Visitors coming by train to Ruabon for buses to Llangollen should be aware D Jones & Son, which operated route 5 Wrexham to Llangollen, has ceased trading w.e.f 17/12/17.

"Onward journeys to Llangollen will need to be by Arriva Cymru route 5 which does not call at Ruabon station. Travellers must walk down Station Road to board the Arriva bus in Bridge St for what is a 40 minute frequency service. 

"The two-hourly T3 Traws Cymru bus will continue to call at the station but with poor times for train connections.

"Awareness of this change will save those who don't know the local circumstances a frustrating wait outside the station when the former 20 minute service doesn't appear."
