Would be a lot cheaper and more environmentally friendly than trying to improve the roads. I have driven minibuses extensively in the area and know how slow it can be!

This makes sense on two fronts, both for commercial and for tourist traffic.
I'm over in Bangor tonight for the weekend visiting my youngest daughter.
I'll get her to do some enquiring to see if there are any plans for further developing the Caernarfon Bangor branch reopening.
