Unfortunately there are no other services running on Sunday here, and to avoid a wait of more than two hours we re-board the same bus at 09:25 to return to Pwllheli (Ysbyty) where we arrive at 09:54 on Sunday morning.

 

[Esker-pades]

It's a 4 minute walk to the station to board the 11:28 Transport for Wales service to the wonderful cliff-hanging halt of Llanaber, arriving there at 12:42 on a Sunday.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We then take the 1359 Transport for Wales service to Harlech arriving there at 1423 on Sunday.

There’s no Sunday bus service here, so we switch platforms and take the 1434 Transport for Wales service 2G28 to Newtown (Powys), arriving at 1640 on Sunday afternoon.

We walk the 5 minutes (0.2 miles) to Cwrt Croesawdy and get the 1716 Stagecoach South Wales service T4 TrawsCymru to Brecon (Hospital), arriving at 1858 Sunday evening

 

[DerekC]

Well, as far as I can see that was the last bus to or from Brecon on a Sunday and we have missed the last train by more than fifty years, so we take an early bath and in the morning walk the 300 yards to Brecon Interchange where we board the 06:55 New Adventure Travel service T6 to Abercrave (Inn) where we arrive at 07:37 on Monday morning.

(On the way we thought we would be able to see some of the Brecon Beacons, but unfortunately it was pouring with rain and with cloud base at about 150 feet!)

We then walk round the corner to Priest Road to take the 49 bus to Royal Hotel, and walk into the neighbouring Cardiff Central railway station, arriving around 00:16 on Tuesday morning.

The additional walk to the station doesn't count, so I'll go from the Royal Hotel.

We barely stay in the 0.5 mile walk rule with our 11 minute walk to Waun-gron Park Station where we board the 0811 Transport for Wales service to Heath Low Level, arriving at 0830 on Tuesday morning.

Rather interestingly, a ticket can be bought for Heath High Level to Low Level. The stations are about 100 yards away from each other.

I can't seem to purchase a ticket for this journey?

You'd be lucky, that journey is booked for a single 153 which regularly leaves full and standing!

We take the four minute walk to the bus stop on Heath Park Avenue, where we board the 0903 Stagecoach South Wales service 86 to Llanishen (Church Inn), arriving there at 0917 on Tuesday morning.
