A COACH service operated by National Express, linking Abergele to Manchester, will be discontinued.

The company’s 175 service will cease to operate from July 1 due to being “commercially unviable”.

It stops on Water Street in Abergele, and drops off at Manchester Chorlton Street coach station. 

Starting at Llandudno, the coach also stops in Penrhyn Bay, Rhos-on-Sea, Colwyn Bay, Birkenhead and Liverpool on its way to Manchester.

A spokesperson for National Express said: "National Express’ 175 service from Llandudno to Manchester will cease to operate from July 1, 2024.

“This change is part of a comprehensive review of our national network and unfortunately, the 175 service is commercially unviable.

“We appreciate that some people will be disappointed by this change.

“Although there are no immediate plans to reinstate the service, we will keep this decision under review.”

Those wanting to travel to London from North Wales used to get the 175 service to Manchester, and then change coach for the rest of the journey.

The 175 coach journey from Abergele to Manchester usually takes a little more than two-and-a-half hours.
