Lockdown Service Levels – Updated from 18th January 2021
January 14, 2021 3:40 pmOur bus services are currently operating to reduced levels during Wales’ Tier 4 national lockdown, stay at home orders, essential travel only on public transport and school closures to most pupils. The situation is ongoing and is changing as and when we are informed by Welsh Government and Local Authorities, so please monitor this page and our Facebook and Twitter social media pages.
4th to 9th January 2021
All services will operate to Saturday timetables (except for normal days of operation on services 121, 150, 153 and 155).
11th to 16th January 2021
Services 121 (Ystradgynlais to Penywern Circular) and 155 (Neath to Llandarcy) will operate school day timetables due to some pupils from key worker households being in school.
All other services will remain operating to Saturday timetables (except for normal days of operation on services 121, 150, 153 and 155).
From 18th January 2021
To reinforce the “stay at home” message and discourage non-essential travel, Welsh Government has instructed bus operators to reduce services to cater for essential journeys only. From Monday 18th January 2021, the following service levels will come into effect and will remain in place until further notice during the Tier 4 national lockdown, whilst schools are closed to most pupils.
