EasyCoach has taken to the roads in Wrexham as its new services come into operation.
EasyCoach now operates four main services. Route 2 operates from Oswestry to Wrexham five minutes ahead of Arriva West Midlands. Likewise the 2D Wrexham to Cefn-Mawr will leave five minutes before Arriva’s 2C service. Working in tandem, both EasyCoach routes will deliver a service from Plas Madoc, via Ruabon and Johnstown, to Wrexham Bus Station every 15 minutes.
EasyCoach has also reinstated the much-missed Wrexham to Wrexham Industrial Estate bus, operating as route 42. Similarly EasyCoach’s new route 44 will offer a service from Wrexham to Barker’s Lane at 30-minute intervals.

“Very encouraging”
Andrew Martin, EasyCoach founder, has been keeping a keen eye on how the new routes are faring. He said, “It’s very encouraging to see customers using the new services and we’re ready to make any adjustments to the timetable should they be required. It’s also great to hear that the information desk for visitors and customers is also receiving over 300 visits a day and is providing a valuable service.”
“Making some improvements”
Cllr David A Bithell, Lead Member for Environment and Transport, said “I visited the bus station recently and was very pleased to see how busy it was. We’ll be making further improvements in the coming months to the seating and entrances including toilets and electronic information. I know this will be appreciated by regular bus users.” The new information shop is providing a good service and I am really pleased this is improving customer experience for people to use buses.
