Welsh bus services receiving share of £110m funding

Some bus services are set to benefit from a £110 million funding package for Welsh local authorities to improve transport.

Projects set to benefit include the continuation of vital bus pilot schemes in Denbighshire and Gwynedd, including the T8 service and Sherpa’r Wyddfa, providing rural communities with better access to employment, services and facilities. £6m has also been made available for the Milford Haven Interchange, which will allow the start of building work to improve the existing Milford train station to create a new interchange for buses and taxis as well as better public realm spaces and active travel links.

The money is also set to be used to improve the condition of local roads and address disruptions caused by severe weather; create inclusive streets that make it easier for people to walk, wheel and cycle; install more publicly available electric vehicle charging points; create safer routes for children to travel to schools; and improve road safety.
