A BUS ROUTE forced to change following anti-social behaviour incidents is now back up and running.
On Sunday (October 27), Lloyds Coaches issued a statement saying that their T3, T3C and T10 services at Corwen Station would be scrapped temporarily.
The company said that it had decided to pull the plug on those services after instances of 'youths attacking buses'.
A statement from the firm added that 'projectiles' were being used to attack their vehicles.
Lloyds Coaches added that the ban would last until 'at least' Monday, November 4, when the decision would be reviewed.
Announcing their decision, Lloyds Coaches added that the 'safety' of their staff and passengers was paramount.
That had left passengers who used the service concerned about having to pursue alternative routes.

However, there was good news for those worried about the loss of the service just a few days later on Tuesday (October 29), when the company confirmed that it would be re-introduced.
The firm added that the decision came following talks with Transport for Wales and North Wales Police.
An 'increased police presence' is now in place in order to try and deter such attacks from taking place again.
Lloyds Coaches said: "Following discussions with Transport for Wales, T3 & T3C buses will return to Corwen Interchange from this evening.
"Alongside an increased police presence, we hope evening services will not be subject to further attacks."
Services T3, T3C serve the Barmouth to Wrexham and T10 serves Bangor to Corwen.
