Brecon and Newtown will be linked by bus for the first time since 1970
New bus links connecting communities in Powys and Ceredigion with south Wales will start operating later this year.

The TrawsCambria network is enhancing its rural service with new connections and buses.

From 3 October, a new route will directly connect Aberystwyth and Cardigan.

In December, Newtown and Brecon, in Powys, will be linked for the first time in 35 years. That service will run on to Merthyr Tydfil and Cardiff.

As part of the firm's expansion, more than 13 new buses will join the fleet already operating throughout the country.

There are also plans to trial a hydrogen-powered, environmentally-friendly bus in west Wales next year.

The Welsh Assembly Government said the TrawsCambria long distance bus strategy was one of its key policies for improving public transport in Wales.
