Then you can use the rural TaxiBus Scheme

The Wrexham County Borough Council rural TaxiBus scheme is designed to provide flexible public transport connections for the more isolated communities, that are not located along conventional public transport routes.

How does the TaxiBus scheme operate?

If you live in an isolated rural loca­tion, you may not have easy ac­cess to the public transport net­work. Residents who live within the qualifying area of operation, and would like to use public trans­port are now able to book a TaxiBus journey, to enable them to travel to Wrexham, Whitchurch, or other neighbouring villages. Transport is provided using a local Taxi & Private Hire Company, op­erating on behalf of Wrexham County Borough Council.
