Traws Cymru

[56xx]

Transport for Wales has posted a video on Facebook highlighting the 30 new buses on the Traws Cymru network.
From what I can work out these include:-
6 Wright Ultroliner Double Deck for Lloyds on the T2
4 Volvo B8R MCV for Celtic Travel/Williams on the T4
6 Volvo B8R MCV for Richards on the T5
3 Volvo B8R MCV for K & P on the T10
8 Wright Ultroliner Double Deck for Arriva Cymru on the T51
A substantial upgrade with TfW style seating as fitted to the new trains and Air Conditioning

1 2026 MCV Evora is meant to be going to M&H Coaches for the T8 in September (sadly they won when it went out to retender which is a great shame given the shambolic way that they have ran the T8 so far. Constantly changing the route, saying bus stops are 'unsafe' despite Arriva safely serving the same stops, diverting and cutting services at the smallest hint of traffic because their duties are too tight... I'd put more faith in Red Group running my buses over M&H, but anyway, here is the tender award https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/066775-2026)

A friend of mine is very impressed by the new deckers on the T2, which apparently include table seats on the upper deck.

I wonder if the extra capacity on the northern end of the T2 is having any effect on passenger numbers on Arriva's route 5C (Bangor <> Caernarfon), since its fares are around twice those of the T2.

T2 is every two hours vs every 20 mins on the 5 - limited impact
