And I assume Lampeter is an outstation of Aberystwyth?

Yes, Lampeter is an outstation of Aberystwyth.
I thought this was to important not to be noted :
The bus company Arriva has announced 46 jobs are under threat as it plans to cut services and close four sites.
A depot in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, and outstations in New Quay and Lampeter in Ceredigion and Dolgellau, Gwynedd, could shut on 21 December following a consultation with staff.
That would mean the cancellation of buses 20, 40, 40C, 50, 585 and X94 from the same date.
Arriva Buses Wales blamed public transport funding and fuel costs.
"A recent network review has led us to believe that current services in this area cannot, despite our best efforts, continue," the company said in a statement.
"Due to contractual arrangements service 585 would continue to operate until 15 February 2014. We have notified the local authority of our intentions.
"The proposed closure may unfortunately result in staff losses, and we are currently in consultation with the 46 staff who would be affected."
Drivers were informed on Tuesday morning.

Thats sad news hope these drivers all find work or everything gets resolved
If this does come to pass in December , it seems that Arriva is leaving the door open for an independent operator to come in and take over the services , is this a possible GHA target area .
There is nothing to be resolved Andy, the decision has been made, however I hope everybody employed gets offered or finds alternative employment.
I suspect X94 will run with GHA like the Sunday one under the new number T3 aint it?
This means that Arriva will slowly have wittled down there depots in Wales , the depots that are left must be able to make ends meet at this present time .
Would it be possible with some retimings to operated the X94 completely from Wrexham depot ?
hang on the X94 is Wrexham operated atm AFAIK
this has been on the cards for months with the gradual abandoning of Aberystwyth local services.It would seem quite obvious that the present routes are unsustainable given Arriva's presumed costs and overheads.
Possibly Mid Wales may be a better bet than GHA to take over,but who knows?
