Monkton bus service to be axed

FIRST Cymru has confirmed that it will be dropping its 348 bus service which runs from Monkton to Haverfordwest.
The service will cease on March 29.
A spokesperson for First Cymru said: “First Cymru can confirm that it has notified the Traffic Commissioner and the Council of its intention to deregister service 348, which operates between Haverfordwest and Monkton via Johnston and Pembroke Dock, from Sunday, March 29.
“Across the section between Monkton, Pembroke & Pembroke Dock we are better matching the number of journeys available with level of usage.
“It’s important to note that no bus stop is left without a bus service as a result of our intention to withdraw Service 348, and that Service 356 will continue to serve Monkton, Pembroke and Pembroke Dock.
“First will use the freed-up resources to extend Service 349 beyond Tenby to Saundersfoot and Kilgetty from Easter. We are confident passengers will welcome with this improvement.”
