Snowdonia national park's improved bus services this summer are proof of the old saying that 'every cloud has a silver lining'. The northern part of the national park attracted nearly five million visitors each year before the Covid-19 pandemic. In summer 2020, the crowds returned with greater intensity than usual. The first Covid-19 lockdown had kept people away from the great outdoors, and there was a surge in 'staycations' while overseas travel remained impractical. Large numbers of cars were parked on roadsides in Snowdonia's most popular visitor areas, calling another adage -about quarts and pint pots - to mind. Images of police towing away cars made national news, and the Welsh Government suddenly took a serious interest in the park's long-standing transport problems. |
