RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Bangor Depot - efanmthomas - 24/07/2023 14:30 2640 is now back here today with 680 now gone to Rhyl depot on loan. RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Bangor Depot - efanmthomas - 18/08/2023 12:58 680 and 2913 have both now arrived back here today. RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Bangor Depot - cx04axy - 24/08/2023 21:54 Has 2659 been withdrawn? Can anyone confirm please? RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Bangor Depot - Nwales Bus - 25/08/2023 18:44 Arriva have announced major cuts to the Holyhead - Bangor service from the 24th of September with the main Holyhead service reduced to hourly and will operate via Ysbyty Gwynedd on all journeys. Changes to Wales from September 2023 Quote:Service 4, 4A, 4B, 4H, 4R, 4X, 544: Bangor to Llangefni and Holyhead RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Bangor Depot - Valandil - 26/08/2023 01:07 (25/08/2023 18:44)Nwales Bus Wrote: Arriva have announced major cuts to the Holyhead - Bangor service from the 24th of September with the main Holyhead service reduced to hourly and will operate via Ysbyty Gwynedd on all journeys. Pretty sad, but when I've used the service, it has been hideously unreliable so I'm not surprised about the low and falling patronage. There were also just too many different service numbers. It isn't good to be changing service numbers mid-route. Why not use "4" as the service number for all of the new 4/4A/4L, or at least just consistently use one different service number for journeys which serve Parc Menai Ffordd-y-Llan? 4X is substantially different to the others and "X" is relatively well-known as meaning express and there aren't that many journeys anyway, so that one seems OK, though there are some different variations within 4X. Quote:The 06:56 Llangefni to Bangor journey is retimed to operate at 06:56 Presumably this is a mistake, looking at the new timetable, though I guess it is a relatively minor retiming anyway.

I always presumed that the 4L was selected as these journeys will terminate at Llangefni. Problem is unlike Stagecoach they don’t like the same number for split registrations RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Bangor Depot - MTL0201 - 07/09/2023 07:11 Had a ride through North Wales on the 1 Bws Ticket yesterday, reliability on the 5/5C/5D route is awful, despite the 5/5D combined to every 20 minutes, they were running in pairs, i wanted the 5D from Llandudno at 10.45am, but the 5D was so late i ended up catching the 5 at 11.05 instead, which ended up in front of the 5D when we reached Bangor. It was the same when i caught the 5C from Caernarfon back in spring, the 5C was 20 minutes late, & the following 5C was late too I know the registrations for the 5/5C/5D are split in Bangor, but buses operate through [changing numbers in Bangor], but wonder if it's worth splitting the whole service in Bangor, [or certainly the Monday to Saturday daytime service] to try & improve reliability?

Awful reliability and punctuality on the 4s, 5s, 62s, actually every service I've been on there except for some reason the Llangoeds. Maybe just lucky there haha.

Reliability on the Bangor-Anglesey services has not been helped by the closure of the Menai Bridge, all the routes are going over the Britannia Bridge & get delayed due to the traffic jams on the Britannia Bridge, i was on an X4 a few weeks ago & it took around 20 minutes to cross over on the Britannia Bridge because of this. RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Bangor Depot - cx04axy - 23/09/2023 21:20 Is it just 2655 and 2658 leaving this weekend? |
