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.
