JISCMail - CYCLING-AND-SOCIETY Archives

Fairly easy really – the nearest railway station is Ruabon (one change from London at either Chester or Birmingham), the local bus then picks up at the front of the station. On Sundays it’s the 5A http://www.ghacoaches.co.uk/Timetables/05ASU12A.html running hourly – in the week the number 5 bus runs every 15 minutes http://www.ghacoaches.co.uk/Timetables/005MS12A.html .

My preference though is to take my bike and cycle along the canal towpath and enjoy the spectacular views – I arrive for meetings very relaxed this way! You can of course leave the train at Chirk instead, it’s a little further but very pleasant (surface not quite so good for the first section) and you get the benefit of crossing the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct – great views of the Dee valley.

Worth also trying http://www.transportdirect.info/ for directions, but be careful can send you the long way round sometimes!

Narrow boat?

So how do you actually get to Llangollen by public transport? I hear such stories of rural bus service cuts, and have learned not to trust google directions. An early train from London on Sunday and a late train back on Tuesday should do it? (I'm booking accommodation)

I'm turning into *such* an urban researcher *sigh*
