We at Llew Jones International, would like to extend a big thank you to customers of the recently-awarded 555 service from Bangor to London for their support during its’ first month. The new service (which starts in Bangor), is now serving stops along the North Wales coast through Llandudno, Colwyn Bay and Rhyl and onto Liverpool for 11:50am, before continuing down to London Victoria via Birmingham and Milton Keynes.
You can find the most current version of the 555-service timetable here.

Llew Jones Managing Director, Steve Jones said of the awarding of the contract “We are really proud to have secured a new contract with National Express as we know how high the standards are. What this demonstrates to all SMEs in North Wales is that we can compete with larger National and Multi-National Companies if we have the right people and infrastructure in place. At Llew Jones, we are proud to be able to offer secure and varied employment to local people with passion and commitment and we continue to invest in their training and development throughout their career with us.”
With our skilled and dedicated team of network drivers, Institute of Road Transport Engineers Certificate (Irtec) maintenance staff, and experienced Contract Monitoring Team, we at Llew Jones are determined to reach the National Express Gold Standard for Service at the earliest opportunity.
The new service has seen an impressive increase in the number of passengers travelling with us, particularly from areas such as Liverpool and Milton Keynes, but most notably Birmingham (an area not previously served by its’ predecessor the 385-service) where we are seeing a demand for customers wanting to travel to/from London predominantly.
Whilst passengers have already been travelling in style with the purchase of a new Scania Caetano Levante II, we are proud to announce that a second new vehicle will be working the service as of July this year.
In addition to this, we are currently working with National Express to offer all customers LIVE tracking on the service. This can be used either by logging on to the website provided below, or by downloading the “coach tracker app” from the Apple and Android app stores.
