SUMMARY OF SNOWDON SHERPA NETWORK - WINTER 2023-24 UPDATE..... It has now been confirmed all the "T10" TrawsCymru journeys between Betws-y-Coed and Bangor via the Ogwen Pass will be operated by K&P  (ie including those previously operated by Llew Jones) - see here for the latest details - which include some minor re-timings from Sunday 5th November     Reductions in the level of service for the Winter Sherpa services have been announced..........     The level of "S1" Sherpa journeys via Pen-y-Pass and Llanberis" remains basically hourly - with the first and pen-ultimate journeys suspended for the winter     "S2" Sherpa journeys from Bangor to Pen-y-Pass via Llanberis are again cut back to only operate as far Llanberis (where passengers can change into the "S1" Sherpa) Click here for further detrails     The level of "S3" Sherpa journeys along the western side of Snowdon is slightly reduced with the last 1902 summer return journey from Beddgelert suspended for the winter     The level of "S4" Sherpa journeys along the Nant Gwynant pass has again been reduced to just two journeys each way during the winter periodare again..... .....but the service remains two-hourly between Beddgelert and Porthmadog note - the extensions to Morfa Bychan will only operate on weekdays during the winter     All the additional "S5" "Park and Ride" journeys are again SUSPENDED for the winter - use the hourly "S1" journeys instead     So far,   no further changes have been anounced for the Conwy Valley "19" connections,  but in view of the new 20mph speed restrictions currently having an adverse effect on performance - watch this space for PROBABLE changes........ ........these will be updated on THIS website if / when anything is announced

from the North Wales coast to the mountains of Snowdonia WINTER WEEKDAY TRIPS from LLANDUDNO,  CONWY and Llew Jones "T19" fast connections       along the east side of the Conwy Valley   along the west side of the Conwy Valley   Llew Jones "19" slow connections       LLANRWST by via the Conwy Valley and Betws-y-Coed larger buses may operate on some journeys at busy times    "S1" Betws-y-Coed - Llanberis       Gwynfor Sherpa - all year    "S4" Pen-y-Pass - Porthmadog      - via Beddgelert (for "S3" to Caernarfon)

B E W A R E ....................... !!! Car Parking in Snowdonia is very limited and can be expensive if a space can be found The alternative is to leave your car behind and use the Snowdon Sherpa Bus network     REMEMBER..........     Due to so many last-minute changes to most Sherpa services in the area,  unfortunately many official websites (including the TravelineCymru "Journey Planner") continue to show journeys which have either been "CHANGED" or sometimes even "WITHDRAWN"     Where known,  these are also included below as a warning - to help avoid you being caught out !!!     Please bookmark and revisit nearer the time to check if there have been any further known changes since your last visit to this page     Journeys shown on this website with a "strike through" line are still operating,  BUT it is NO LONGER possible to get a (bus) connection back to the start location of the page - eg  1234      Throughout Snowdonia there are unfortunately numerous cases of "sub-standard" connections which are NOT recognised by the TravelineCymru "Journey Planner" (as they are less than 5 minutes) - eg 12.05 12.05     Although this website strongly advises you NOT to 'chance' them.......... ..........they are included to draw your attention to the fact that if everything is 'spot on time' and you are "very quick" - it can sometimes get you to your destination considerably earlier This "unofficial" website attempts to show what is available..... and to encourage greater use of the network also includes some suggested "trips round Snowdonia - without your car"
