Yes it is and it's listed on the new timetables

I wonder if the audio announcements will be bilingual, unlike Rhyl's Sapphire's? Smile

I notice that the daytime frequency is being reduced to every 30 minutes - still up to every 15 minutes at peak times though.

The extension to Chester railway station is interesting however.

Every 15 minutes between Chester and Connahs Quay, Boathouse (4 a hour)
Every 30 up to Connahs Quay, Morrisons (2 a hour)
Every 30 up to Holywell Bus Station(2 a hour)

There will be roughly 20 mins layover in Holywell and 3 mins at Chester Rail Stn

No I meant like the audio announcements sorry. It's bilingual at the beginning in audio with the welcome aboard announcement and end of the route. Smile

Oh ha ha, I know what you mean, we had the whole route bilingual but when tested the system would literally be talking the whole way there and back with both English and Welsh stop announcements, with the stops being close together, so was decided to just use English with both English and Welsh displayed on the screens.
