Newport Bus has announced a number of big changes to its services across the city starting from this weekend.
The transport company has announced that from Sunday, August 8, all Sunday services will be replaced by the fflecsi bus on all Newport routes. Sunday services on routes 29, 30 and T7 will, however, operate as per the current timetable.

A city-wide expansion of the service was already announced last week.

The service on the 74A/74 will increase to an hourly service Monday to Friday, with an extra evening service for the 74. The X74 service will increase to an hourly service Monday to Saturday.
