 New
Guide takes the fuss out of the bus
20 October 2003
 Finding
your way round the Dyfi Valley by bus, train, bike and foot has just got
a lot easier, thanks to a colourful new guide
from the community regeneration group Ecodyfi.
Featuring a 'tube-style' bus and train
map, the bi-lingual Guide shows you how to get between all the main
places in the Valley. It's also packed with other useful information to
help you get about without a car.
Five Transport Facts:
-
There's a new ticket for Arriva buses in North Wales for just £12
a week.
-
You can get to London by train for as little as £10, if you book
in advance.
-
There's now a bus from Machynlleth to Aberystwyth every hour.
-
You can get 1/3 off local trains with the new Cambrian Railcard.
-
Anyone over 60 or disabled can go anywhere in Wales by bus for
free.
The Guide is being delivered by post to every household in the Dyfi Valley
over the next few months, so look out for your copy. You'll also get a
handy timetable, with all the main
bus and train services on just one page.
Nat Taplin and Lynn Sloman, who wrote the Guide, both live in the Valley
and travel everywhere without cars. Nat Taplin said:
"You can get all round the area by bus for just £12 a week, and there's
loads of them too. But they can be difficult to find out about. That's
why we've written this guide. It's really clear and simple. Hopefully
it'll tempt a few more people to leave the car behind and let the bus
and train take the strain."
