Updates to the
published Vale of Glamorgan Public Transport
Guide
Service
245 (Llantwit Major - Bridgend College)
New commercial service provision provided by First Cymru to
provide one return journey between Llantwit Major and Bridgend
College on college days only (Mondays to Fridays). Effective from
Monday, 31 October 2011.
Services 801 and 803
(Pencoed College)
These services are withdrawn
with effect from 1 September.
Revised service via Lansdowne Road
and Wellington Street in Cardiff; not via Cowbridge Road East. This
was a commercial decision by Cardiff Bus to restore punctuality to
the service.
Village Bus Group of Services
These services are now operated by Watts Coaches of Bonvilston;
Telephone: 01446 781277. Services V3 and V4 (Cowbridge to Bridgend)
have been amalgamated into the V1 and V2 Services, which now
run through from Llantwit Major to Bridgend via Cowbridge and
villages on route (service numbers V3 and V4 have been withdrawn,
but service provision has not). Some minor timetable changes have
been applied although timings throughout the network remain
relatively unchanged, but passengers are advised to check the new
timetables before travelling. Certain route changes have also taken
place, especially in Cowbridge Town Centre where certain journeys
will run direct through the High Street and in Bridgend Town
Centre, as most journeys will only serve the bus station, not the
town centre itself. This is to improve timekeeping. Passengers
are advised to check the new timetables below for further
information.
Service
X2 (Porthcawl - Cardiff via Bridgend, Cowbridge and
A48)
The 09:30 journey from Bridgend to Porthcawl will be re-timed to
run 10 minutes later, Mondays to Fridays with effect from Monday, 3
October 2011.
Service X5
(Llantwit Major - Cardiff) Sundays and Bank
Holidays: Correction to published timetable. The service
runs via Civic Office bus stops in both directions and NOT via
Adams Funeral Directors along Gladstone Road between Broad Street
and Buttrills Road roundabout on route to Cardiff.
The service will be revised
with regard to route and timetable to run via the Murch area
of Dinas Powys with effect from Wednesday 21 September 2011.
Pre-payment Travel Cards
Whilst the Vale of Glamorgan Council requires operators to
accept tickets issued by other operators for travel in this area on
its supported services, the same will not be applied to the
acceptance of other operators pre-payments cards (e.g. Cardiff Bus
“Iff” Card).
Millennium Stadium Events
Passengers are advised that when large events take place at the
Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, bus services can be disrupted and
terminate prior to Cardiff Bus Station. www.millenniumstadium.com/events
The Vale of Glamorgan Council makes every effort to provide
up to date public transport information with regards to services
provided by various private operators on our web site, public
transport guides and at bus stops. However, due to the fact that
operators can make changes to their commercially operated services
at any time and limited Council resources, this Authority is unable
to guarantee the accuracy of information provided at all times.
Therefore, please check with the service operator or
Traveline (0871 200 22 33) prior to travel.
