    Brief

    Transport for Wales is seeking to appoint one or more qualified coach operators to run a new express coach service between Bangor and Carmarthen, launching in October 2026. This service is designed to improve public transport connectivity along Wales's west coast, reduce journey times through limited stops, and encourage passengers to shift from private car use to sustainable public transport. The service will serve students, tourists, and local residents, supporting Wales's National Transport Delivery Plan and regional transport objectives. Selected operators will be responsible for day-to-day service delivery, passenger experience, and compliance with all operational, safety, and performance standards set by Transport for Wales. This is a competitive procurement process to secure one or more suitably qualified operating partners.
