The timetable has been slightly revised to re-route the service away from Pardoe Crescent and Neale Street and will instead run between Walker Road and Barry Road via Buttrills Road on certain journeys. In addition, the terminus (stopping point) of the service will also be moved from Porth-y-Castell to the Lakeside bus stop at the Knap, but continue to serve the Garden Suburb area.

All other Vale of Glamorgan Council supported local bus services remain unchanged. Timetable information is available from www.traveline.cymru (Tel: 0800 464 00 00) and also on the Council’s website. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Councillor Peter King, Cabinet Member for Building Services, Highways and Transportation, said: ”I am delighted that the Council can continue to support these vital bus services, which allows residents and visitors to travel around the Council’s area without needing to use a private car. I am really pleased that following the opening of the Barry Waterfront Link Road, both Cardiff bus and Harton coaches will now be serving the new Asda site.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
