New 'express' summer coach service for North Wales
Arriva is launching its Cymru Coastliner, which will run from June 22 to August 25 and will connect Rhyl and Llandudno in under one hour.
Route CC12 will serve popular coastal hotspots including Kinmel Bay, Towyn, Abergele, Colwyn Bay and Rhos-on-Sea.
The coaches will operate hourly, seven days a week.
Travel will be from just £8 a day
Adam Marshall, head of commercial for Arriva Cymru, said: 'This is a fantastic addition to our network for the summer, connecting communities and attractions across the North Wales coast.
'We're really proud of what we've created for our customers with the Cymru Coastliner and we're looking forward to welcoming them on board.
'It's just one example of how we're looking to grow the network - offering people a genuine alternative to the car, which will help ease congestion and support sustainable travel choices in North Wales.
'We've done all we can to make it as easy as possible for our customers to choose public transport, whether they're planning a beach day, organising a family trip or visiting some great seaside towns.'
