First Cymru are relaunching their Mumbles and Porthcawl open-top Coaster bus services and introducing TWO new routes for Summer 2022: Aberavon and Tenby.

The Mumbles, Porthcawl and Tenby routes will begin operating on Thursday 2nd June, with the Aberavon Coaster taking its inaugural journey on Monday 6th June. Each Coaster is hop-on, hop-off – so one ticket is enough to ride all day, as many journeys as you’d like!

Mumbles, Porthcawl & Aberavon

Adult: £5

Under 15: £3.30

Group of 5: £15

Tenby

Adult: £6

Under 15: £4

Jane Reakes-Davies, Managing Director for First Cymru said:

“It is an exciting time for everyone at First as we launch these new leisure services starting this Spring Bank Holiday weekend. The open-top routes will give many people a new opportunity to have a great day out and experience the Swansea Bay and Porthcawl coastline from a different perspective, with beautiful views on the top deck. The services will also attract day visitors to the area and provide a much-needed boost to the local economy.”
