Combined rail and TrawsCymru bus tickets

One easy ticket to cheaper, faster travel

Save time and money* on journeys between South Wales and Aberystwyth with our combined rail and TrawsCymru T1 bus ticket. 

Instead of using different apps, websites and sellers to buy your separate train and bus tickets, you can now purchase one ticket to cover your journey on both our rail services and the TrawsCymru T1 buses.

If you’re travelling on our rail service from destinations in South Wales you’ll need to get off the train at Carmarthen and then swap onto a TrawsCymru T1 bus service to continue your journey. The bus stop for the T1 service is located opposite the exit of the rail station. If you’re travelling from Aberystwyth, Lampeter or Aberaeron, you’ll start your journey on a TrawsCymru service and swap onto our rail service at Carmarthen to continue to your journey to your destination.

By travelling on both modes, you can save time and money.
