Cymru Coaches haven't done any RRBs for TFW over the past few weeks in Chester (Chesters TFW RRBs are being Voel, Lakeside, Big Coach Company and Orion mainly. I think Cymru Coaches aren't on the TFW Rail Replacement Database. The only rail replacements which I can see that they have done is the emergency rail replacements for Northern on the Mid Cheshire Line the other day.


As for loadings, up until Sunday, TFW were trying to enforce a maximum capacity of 9 on a coach, 2 on a minibus. Needless to say, co-ordinators used discresion and were putting around 20 on a bus. Midday Sunday ish, it was changed to be 1/2 capacity, window seats only and/or bubbles sit together.


TFW are going off Welsh Govt rules/guidance even on buses which do not go into Wales hence the discrepancy.

Social distancing rules are now different in Wales compared to England, any bus which travels through Wales to reach its destination, regardless of starting and finishing in England would have to comply with Welsh Regulations

You are correct that they don't normally do any rail runs in North Wales but I can assure you that Cymru Coaches is a major supplier of Rail Replacement across South Wales, however are not uncommon to also venture out to some interesting places
