ER3 Cardiff - End of the Road Festival

Operated by National Express. First bus 07:45, last bus 13:15. 5 journeys on weekdays.

🚍 This is a long-distance coach, not a local bus — the £3 England fare cap doesn't apply, and neither do local bus passes. National Express sets its own fares and prices by demand, so booking ahead is usually far cheaper than paying on the day.
