This appears to be a strange one. Bus times shows the T4 as only running between Newtown and Brecon while the Stagecoach website shows it as running to Cardiff but does not show it as serving this particular stop.

Stagecoach timetable only lists timing points. It is a through service but Bus Times only has it in sections.

It is a through service, have caught it countless times.

That really is confusing. Would appear to run to Brecon as a T4 on to Merthyr Tydfil as a T4B then on to Cardiff as a T4C but listed as three separate routes.

Having finally worked that lot out we take the short walk to the Maindy Stadium bus stop and take the 09.52 Newport Bus service X30 to Newport, Market Square arriving at 10.25 on Thursday.

It will be down to the sections being in seperate TXC files, and Bus Times doesn't know to merge them. For our services we merge the different parts into one file.

Next we make the 7 minute 0.3 mile walk to the railway station and catch the 1106 Transport for Wales service to  Crewe arriving at 1328 on Thursday.
