Official timetable
Times change by season, so we link to the official timetable rather than copy it. The summer 2026 timetable started on 28 March 2026.
Live bus tracking and tickets: MyTrip app (as recommended by Eryri).
Why no live times here? We looked for free, open Sherpa'r Wyddfa timetable or live data we could reuse and did not find any that is current, so we link to the operator's own timetable instead.
