Transport for Wales (TfW) has announced that a new bus service connecting communities between Rhyl and Wrexham has launched.
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 TrawsCymru T51 will seek to make bus travel easier between Rhyl, Denbigh, Ruthin and Wrexham, and has replaced the existing 51/X51 service and will be operated by Arriva.
Executive director for regional transport and integration at Transport for Wales, Lee Robinson, said: “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.”
Achievements and innovations in public transport planning will be recognised and celebrated at the fourth annual CiTTi Awards on 25 November 2025 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London. Visit www.cittiawards.co.uk to learn more about this unmissable event for the UK’s transportation sector!
