TrawsCymru aims and the reality of the current network couldn't be more different.

Lloyds and Tanat Valley often run a bit of everything on their TC routes. Richard Bros I believe

First T1 - Traws livery, normal First interior. Almost always a TrawsCymru liveried bus.
Lloyds T2/T3/T12 - Mix of buses in all liveries. Buses in Traws livery tend to have Traws interior though
Stagecoach T4/T14 - With the reduction in the frequency, it's now more Generally the MCV Evoras in Traws livery with TC superior interior. Still generally 1 or 2 bus duties per day where a normal Stagecoach bus runs.
Richard Bros T5/T11 - Complete mix bag. Some normal buses, some in Traws livery but normal interior. sometimes the Metrocities with Traws livery and Traws basic interior.
Adventure T6 - Generally buses in Traws livery with Traws basic interior. Generally early morning and evening trips are ran by buses not in Traws livery.
K&P/Llew Jones T10 - Normally a Traws Cymru bus with Traws Superior spec.
Lloyds/Tanat T12 - Statistically much more likely to have a standard liveried bus than a TrawsCymru one.
Llew Jones T19 - T19 is a mix of everything because they throw you off buses in Llanwrst and swap everything over randomly. I'd say more often a Llew Jones bus than a Traws one but that includes the posher Roseroso Connect thing which is quite nice.


Overall, only 2 routes really have the higher spec Traws Cymru and that is the T4 and T10. To find a bus in TrawsCymru livery though, I would say network wide, it's around 50% chance of it being a TrawsCymru liveried bus.



To clarify what I mean by Traws basic and traws superior livery. Traws basic I mean the normal seats but they are in the TrawsCymru colour with some branding inside. the Traws Superior livery has the high backed, posher seats I think they are Lazzerini Transito. Same ones that Stagecoach got for the new Gold spec on the 471/472
