Journeys between South Wales and Aberystwyth

If you’re travelling on our rail service from destinations in South Wales you’ll need to get off the train at Carmarthen and then swap onto a TrawsCymru T1 bus service to continue your journey. The bus stop for the T1 service is located opposite the exit of the rail station. If you’re travelling from Aberystwyth, Lampeter or Aberaeron, you’ll start your journey on a TrawsCymru service and swap onto our rail service at Carmarthen to continue to your journey to your destination.

By travelling on both modes, you can save time and money.
