A new bus service connecting communities between Rhyl and Wrexham
launches today.
The TrawsCymru T51 will make bus travel easier between Rhyl,
Denbigh, Ruthin and Wrexham.
The changes - part of Network North Wales - increase the number
of buses running between Ruthin and Wrexham to hourly (from
two-hourly) and introduces a new hourly service between Wrexham
and Rhyl on Sundays.
The T51 has replaced the existing 51/X51 service and will be
operated by Arriva.
Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales says:
“I'm pleased to see the start of better connectivity in this part
of Wales starts today thanks to our work on Network North Wales.
“Improving public transport is the key to unlocking the potential
of the region and this new TrawsCymru service offering more
frequent buses is a great example of that.”
Lee Robinson, Executive Director for Regional Transport
and Integration at Transport for Wales, says:
"The T51 is an early milestone for Network North Wales, showing
how better coordinated bus and rail services will open up
opportunities across the region.
“The new service will help transform travel in North Wales giving
people more frequent and convenient connections between Rhyl,
Denbigh, Ruthin and Wrexham.
“Better frequencies, simpler fares and improved ticketing make
public transport a genuine everyday option for more people,
supporting local jobs and education.”
The new T51 will also come with simplified and lower fares, and
digital ticketing options.
Work on the Network North Wales programme continues and from
March 2026 the T51 route will launch better integration with rail
services and other TrawsCymru routes, and a fleet of modern
vehicles designed for comfort and sustainability.
More information including the updated timetable is available on
the TrawsCymru website.
