Disruption To Bus Services: Due to the nationwide driver shortage,

First Cymru Buses Ltd have decided to temporarily reduce some of its timetables to try and provide a more reliable service.

Service 63 between Bridgend and Porthcawl via Cefn, Kenfig

Hill, Pyle and North Cornelly has been temporarily reduced to every 30 minutes (it is normally every 20 minutes) until 23rd October.
