RAIL GAP: New five-hour coach to link north and south Wales — but still no cash for the Carmarthen to Aberystwyth railway
A new coach service linking north and south Wales will launch this autumn — but there is still no money on the table for the west Wales railway campaigners have been fighting to bring back for over a decade.
The Welsh Government has confirmed £2m to run a daily coach between Bangor and Carmarthen, stopping at nine points along the west coast, including Aberystwyth.
Ministers say the service will cut more than an hour off the current journey, which can take six-and-a-half hours by train via England.
Deputy transport minister Mark Hooper said the coach was “the first step in improving connectivity between the north and the south of Wales”, delivered as part of the new Plaid Cymru government’s 100-day plan.
Eight coaches have already been bought for the route, which will run through Caernarfon, Porthmadog, Dolgellau, Machynlleth, Aberystwyth and Aberaeron before reaching Carmarthen.
The map published by Transport for Wales shows the coach largely following roads already served by TrawsCymru buses — the T1 corridor between Carmarthen and Aberystwyth, and the T2 north to Porthmadog.

But for campaigners in Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion, the announcement lands as a familiar story — another bus, and still no train.
Efforts to reopen the Carmarthen to Aberystwyth line, closed in the 1960s Beeching cuts, have been running since 2013, led by the campaign group Traws Link Cymru.
A Welsh Government feasibility study in 2018 found that 97% of the original trackbed remains clear, and judged reopening technically feasible — but priced it at £775m and concluded it was not economically viable, only “socially viable”.
That figure has been the sticking point ever since, with the project repeatedly described by officials as a longer-term option subject to value-for-money tests.
In March, a major report by the Centre Think Tank threw fresh weight behind the line, arguing its social benefits would far outweigh the economic costs.
Former first minister Lord Carwyn Jones backed the report, criticising the historical lack of investment and noting that Wales is the only UK nation with no power to direct Network Rail.
The campaign has since become a political flashpoint, with Plaid Cymru repeatedly tying the line’s future to the money Wales is owed after HS2 was classified as an “England and Wales” project, denying Wales hundreds of millions in consequential funding.
Supporters point out that journeys of less than 50 miles across the region can still take hours, with three university campuses, the National Library of Wales and S4C’s headquarters all hampered by poor transport.
Transport for Wales, which will run the new coach, says the service is a step towards its wider “T Network” — a vision for a fully integrated public transport system across Wales.
Executive director Lee Robinson said linking towns along the west coast would create “faster, more reliable connections for work, education and leisure”.
The government says it will assess demand over the coming months before deciding whether to fund the coach beyond its first year.
For those who want the railway back, the wait goes on.

HYWEL DDA: Stroke patients in west Wales face major shake-up as health board prepares to launch new consultation — with Glangwili set to become the region’s only 24-hour acute unit
Stroke patients across west Wales could face much longer journeys for specialist care under plans being put out to public consultation — with Llanelli‘s Prince Philip Hospital set to lose its acute stroke capability if the preferred option goes ahead.
Hywel Dda University Health Board will decide at its public board meeting on 28 May whether to launch a second round of consultation on the future of stroke services — the one area it couldn’t reach agreement on when it made decisions on eight other fragile services at an extraordinary meeting in February.
Under the preferred option now being put forward, Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen would become the region’s only 24-hour acute stroke and rehabilitation unit.
Prince Philip Hospital in Llanelli, Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest and Bronglais Hospital in Aberystwyth would all become treat-and-transfer sites — meaning patients would receive initial stabilisation there before being transferred to Glangwili, or directly to a thrombectomy centre in Cardiff or Bristol.
Bronglais would also have a stroke rehabilitation unit under the plan.
The health board says the current setup is dangerous. Stroke services are currently spread across four hospital sites and there is no specialist cover seven days a week — meaning patients are not always getting the standard of care they should.
The preferred option was not one of the original ideas put out to consultation. It emerged from two alternative suggestions — Option 106 and Option 210 — put forward by members of the public during the first phase. The board felt that neither worked on its own, but combined, they could.
The proposal is a significant one for Llanelli. The town has already seen its Minor Injuries Unit downgraded as part of the same Clinical Services Plan process, and local councillors have been vocal about the cumulative impact of service losses at Prince Philip.
Councillor Sean Rees warned last year that Llanelli “cannot afford to lose any more” of its healthcare services, and raised specific concerns about what the stroke changes would mean for Prince Philip — including the added pressure of patients being transferred in from Ceredigion if Bronglais was downgraded.
The board’s chair Dr Neil Wooding said the second consultation was a direct result of what communities told the board during the first phase.
He said: “Thank you to everyone who has already given their time and provided feedback in the first phase of our Clinical Services Plan consultation, which has enabled us to reach this point. While we were able to take decisions on eight of the nine fragile services included in our Clinical Services Plan earlier this year, no decisions about the future model for stroke services have been made.”
Lee Davies, Executive Director of Strategy and Planning, said: “We know how important stroke services are to our communities, and we are committed to taking the time needed to understand people’s views on the preferred option and the other options already consulted on, before any final decisions are made.”
He added: “We need to change our current service to ensure that people in our communities have the best possible outcomes and chance of recovery from a stroke.”
The consultation will ask whether people support the preferred option — and if not, which of the previously consulted-on alternatives should be considered instead. People will also be able to flag equality and Welsh language concerns.
If approved on 28 May, the consultation opens the same day and runs until 26 July 2026. The board will then weigh all the evidence from both phases before making a final decision later this year.
The public board meeting on 28 May will be broadcast live online, with board papers already published on the Hywel Dda website.
