Alpine, Llandudno (Updated 11th April 2008)

22nd May 2007

The Hughes brothers' business has developed from its humble beginnings with a horse and cart into one of north Wales' largest coach operators. Deregulation saw the company expand into local service work with a mixture of tendered and commercial routes, although the latter were sold to Crosville Wales in 1995. Alpine continues to operate contract services and open-top and vintage tours of Llandudno, alongside its coaching activities. The latter have been expanded through the acquisition of several other local operators including Royal Red (1987), Creams (1990) and Clwydian Tours of Pentre Llanrhaeadr (2007).
