The ONLY website about the Snowdon Sherpa bus services to be regularly updated with all the mid-timetable corrections and service changes !!! The peak-summer timetable is now in operation until Sunday 5th September 2010 Remember the additional Arriva services have finised for 2010 as have the supplementary "197" journeys !!!! All the autumn/winter 2010 timetables are available on this website just follow the link to the next period on ANY timetable immediately under the "header dates"        Make sure you travel on the Snowdon Sherpas in 2010 !        Do your bit to help the environment by keeping unnecesary cars out of Snowdonia Always check the date at the bottom of every page if you re-visit this website in case there have been any updates since your last visit Several different operators cover the Sherpa network AND connecting services Generally speaking, to give you maximum flexibility, the best ticket for travelling to, round and returning from Snowdonia for a whole day is the £5.40 Red Rover available from the driver of your first bus (or a North Wales Day Rover if travelling from further afield) There are other cheaper all day tickets available, for example.... "The Padarn £3" and "The Arriva £5.50" day ticket are excellent value in their own right BUT BEWARE both are ONLY valid on services provided by the respective companies So make sure you select an appropriate ticket for ALL of your proposed itinerary !!!

B E W A R E ....................... !!! Car Parking in Snowdonia is very limited and can be expensive if a space can be found (the popular one at PenyPass is often full before 0900 on fine summer days) The alternative is to leave your car behind and use the Snowdon Sherpa Bus network This "unofficial" website attempts to show what is available by all operators It contains composite timetables of connecting services on a cross-Snowdonia route basis where a change of bus is usually necessary --- hopefully it will help you plan your days out It also includes some suggested "trips round Snowdonia - without your car"

The majority of Snowdon Sherpa bus services are operated by modern low-floor minibuses but are sometimes replaced by a larger bus during busy periods In addition some of the additional summer services are operated by open-top double-deck buses shown in the timetables as "OT" and highlighted in red on the suggested itineries Throughout this website, clicking on underlined text will lead to another page To help you find your way round this website there is an index at the bottom of every page with the page you are viewing shown in blue
