Description

Slippery rails between Betws-y-Coed and Blaenau Ffestiniog mean that it is currently unsafe for trains to run between North Llanrwst and Blaenau Ffestiniog. Until the railway line has been treated, buses will replace trains between these stations until approximately 12:30.

Customer advice:

Rail replacement buses will run between Betws-y-Coed / North Llanrwst and Blaenau Ffestiniog to assist customers to complete journeys where possible at no extra cost. These will be provided by Keanes.

Please note due to local operator availability, the bus is expected to depart Betws-y-Coed and North Llanrwst at approximately 11:00. The bus is expected to depart Blaenau Ffestiniog approximately 30 minutes later on time.

Please note, road transport will take longer than rail services. Please allow extra time to complete your journey.
