• Traveline is the new national website for all public transport throughout the UK. It is new and ambitious, and may have some bugs, but is well worth looking at for planning any journey.
  
  
• Bus transport: there are several companies, and Gwynedd Council keeps timetables of them. You will find timetables in pdf format here.
  
  
• Trains go through Bangor from all parts of England on their way to Holyhead (ferry terminal). A good site for timetables is here.
  
  
• There are plenty of taxi services around. If you go to Bangor station you will almost certainly pick one up there: a good local firm is A2B taxis run by Hefin and Carolyn. Phone them on 01286 871135
  

Weather and tides

• There are many weather stations and forecasts for the short-term, and some things, like the times of high and low tides, can be predicted accurately. First, why not take a look at Snowdon as it looks at this moment? You will find various webcams on the First Hydro Site here.
  
  
• For daily weather forecasts, try these two: one supplied by the Met Office for Snowdonia itself, and this other, which is more specific to particular mountain areas and is updated every 3 hours, from Metcheck.com
  
  
• For information about tides around the coasts here, try the BBC website here
