Arriva North West and Wales , in partnership with the Welsh Assembly Government, is introducing new buses onto the X32 (Aberystwyth to Bangor ) service - part of the Traws Cambria network.

The five new vehicles, which have been fully funded by the Welsh Assembly Government, feature low floor easy access, improved coach style seating, and CCTV to give customers an enhanced sense of security. And for the first time, all buses have exterior bicycle racks helping local people and tourists make the most of the beautiful countryside.

Arriva will take delivery of a further five buses for the X94 Wrexham to Barmouth service.

Bob Hind, managing director for Arriva North West and Wales , said:

We are very pleased to be able to work with the Welsh Assembly Government to improve customers' travelling experience with the introduction of new buses.

The new vehicles feature low floor easy access technology making it easier to board both for people with limited mobility for people with pushchairs.

Deputy Transport Minister Tamsin Dunwoody-Kneafsey said:

The Welsh Assembly Government is investing heavily in all forms of transport and public transport plays an essential part of our integrated transport strategy. I'm delighted that we have been able to support the introduction of the new buses as the Traws Cambria is an important service for people travelling across Wales.
