by train:
From Manchester or London, you can take the shorter train ride to Bangor

then another bus to Pwllheli. The longerbut less expensive train ride
requires that you change two or three times, but it takes you to Pwllheli
station itself. Consult thetrainline

railcard, valid for one year, for £18 which entitles you to a third-discount.
Sample fares in August 2001 are £ 56.20 London-Bangor-London without
a railcard, but STG 37.10 with a railcard. London-Pwllheli-London is £
30.30 with card and £ 45.70 without. There are other types of discount
cards you can purchase, such as senior citizen's railcard and family railcard.

Consult the web site gobycoach.com
for times and fares. For under 25's, you can purchase a £9.00 coach
card valid for one year which entitles you to discounted tickets. For

you £32.50 return but only £26.00 with the coach card. A single
ticket without the card is £23.00.
