Deputy First Minister and Minister for Economy & Transport, Ieuan Wyn Jones said of the achievement: Traveline Cymru has proved to be a real boon for travellers across Wales since its launch ten years ago and I was especially proud to hear of their tremendous achievement.

The Ambassador for Traveline Cymru, Iolo Williams attended the event and said: I'm really pleased that Traveline Cymru has been recognised for the hard work done to develop their brand and website into something that serves the travelling public in Wales so well. It's really something the team should be proud of and I'm thrilled I could join them at the event and celebrate their success.

Marketing Manager, Jo Foxall who managed the project said: We are delighted to receive this award. It's testament to the hard work put in by the team at Traveline Cymru, our design agency limegreentangerine and our web team at SpinDogs during the last 18 months. The new brand identity and website are just two of the exciting things happening at Traveline Cymru and there is much more to come!
