TrawsCymru has grown with the introduction of a new T8 cross-border service between Corwen and Chester via Ruthin and Mold on a pilot basis.

The TrawsCymru network in North Wales has grown with the introduction of the T8 cross-border service between Corwen and Chester via Ruthin and Mold on a 12-month pilot basis. It replaces other routes and will offer “more frequent and faster services,” says Transport for Wales (TfW).
M&H Coaches of Denbigh is operating the T8. TfW Development Director Mid, North and Rural Wales Lee Robinson says that the route represents “the latest in a number of improvements to regional bus services across Wales.”
Mr Robinson adds: “TfW is committed to improving accessibility for Wales’s country towns that are not on the rail network and we look forward to all the benefits the new T8 will bring.”
Introduction of the T8 represents a significant uplift in service to Chester compared to that provided by the routes that it has replaced. A largely hourly service runs for much of the day Monday to Saturday. The previous X1 service operated to Chester twice per day, although the X1 journeys served Chester railway station while the T8 does not. The T8 will connect with existing TrawsCymru services T3 and T10 at Corwen, however.
