Traws Cymru Expansion - iMarkeh - 08/07/2018 03:20
Currently being tendered by Conwy and Powys council are new routes
T10 Bangor – Betws y Coed – Corwen – Chirk – Oswestry (starts Aug 13th for 5 years)
https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN254704
T11: Machynlleth – Newtown – Welshpool – Wrexham
T12: Machynlleth – Newtown – Montgomery – Welshpool – Wrexham
There is no more info for the T11/T12 however on another forum, someone states that tenders were collected during recent Powys Council re-tendering.
I haven't seen any info on any other threads hence making a new one.

T14 has now began to show on VOSA, well just the Merthyr to Cardiff section which will be commercially operated. This will also operate to Brecon, Hay-on-Wye and maybe Hereford. Stagecoach have also registered a T11 between Llanidloes and Newtown.

Apparently be T14C is T4 from Merthyr to Cardiff and Cardiff to Merthyr
Change to a T14 from Merthyr to Brecon and brecon to Merthyr
Should be 5 seperate registrations due to lenth of route so buses continue to not need Tacho's
Hope T14 will see new buses as the Tempo's, Scania Enviro300s and Man Enviro300s on the service seen better days and I should know I drive them oftern enough

The T11 journey is one single return journey between Newtown/Llanidloes. This was tendered as part of the new Sunday T4 tender which will divert via Llanidloes on Sunday
