Question
What consideration has the Welsh Government given to extending the use of concessionary travel passes along the North Wales Main Line?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change
Concessionary rail travel was introduced on lines where there are limited bus services and where rail services have the capacity to carry additional passengers. In North Wales this includes:
• Wrexham – Hawarden Bridge
• Machynlleth – Pwllheli (Cambrian Coast line) October to March only
• Llandudno – Blaenau Ffestiniog (Conwy Valley line)
We have no plans to extend the concessionary rail pass beyond the current areas of eligibility.
