Ticket types come from Stagecoach South Wales's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 3 September 2026. Prices for singles and returns are under Fares above; for the others, check with Stagecoach South Wales.
Christmas & bank holidays
These dates are not the usual timetable for the day they fall on. They come from the operator’s published data, which for Christmas and New Year is often late or incomplete, so check with Stagecoach South Wales before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.
Not published yet: Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 28 December, New Year's Day and 2 January. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
