I was looking and that didn't show up. OH well.

Thank you for your help. From December, will the 2/2A then run as per the 2C to Tesco then use the B5605 to Pentre

Honestly have no idea. I would assume that they would go back to their pre-closure route. The diversion doesn't seem to be listed on Arriva's website, unless it started before April.

It's a result of a landslide at the side of Newbridge that damaged the road, awaiting repairs.

In other Oswestry Depot news, the Oswestry Town 40x routes will be ran by someone else. The 70/70A are being replaced by the X4/X5. There isn't a timetable yet that I can see but this will certainly be interesting.

This seems like a precursor to closing the Oswestry depot.

The timetable's now up - not sure if it's just me but some of the journeys on X4/X5 now make no sense timings wise?

Quite a bit wrong from other details I have seen and a quite bit missing, format is a mess. Oswestry depot will have a PVR of 2 on it (previously had 4 on the 70/70A) and route will also have input from Shrewsbury and Telford depots.

Tanat Valley have gained the Town Services I gather. Arriva will continue the 401 commercially.

Arriva have retained the 405 as well - although originally told that they had lost it.

ADL E400MMC, 4545 YY67 HDL having arrived from Wigston by Saturday morning (probably Friday) on loan, with Pulsar 2, 3785 FL63 DXT going the other way, 4545 has entered use in Oswestry today. I gather its arrived to provide extra capacity on the X5 for some Shrewsbury College related workings from the due to heavy student numbers from Telford.

Today it was doing the following and will assume will be its booked trips:

06:32 X5 Oswestry to Shrewsbury, onwards as 07:35 to Telford.
08:10 X5 Telford to Shrewsbury, onwards as 09:05 to Oswestry

13:37 X5 Oswestry to Shrewsbury, onwards as 14:40 to Telford.
15:20 X5 Telford to Shrewsbury, onwards as 16:05 to Oswestry

17:07 X5 Oswestry to Shrewsbury
18:10 X5 Shrewsbury to Oswestry

Sampled a number of trips myself, was doing X4/X5 for a long planned trips on some Pulsars but obviously had a late afternoon focus on 4545. Note it currently tracks on BusTimes.org as 2987 YJ09 LBN due to ticket machine setup, also note that the real 2987 YJ09 LBN also correctly tracks!

Quick Oswestry update.

Scanias 3511/12 were removed from service by mid October and stored, noted at Shrewsbury depot, 3511 did return for a week and then departed again. No idea where they are now.

Scanias 3508/10 have been removed from service at Oswestry, after use on 4th November and 3508/10 have departed Oswestry now. 3509 is the last one standing I understand for the moment.

Versa wise, 2944 is now in service at Oswestry after moving from Shrewsbury, tracking as 2945 (oops!) on the 576 today. 2985 has returned to Oswestry after a retrim and repaint at MRC, on X4/X5 today and also tracking as 2945 (oops again!).

On loan from Wigston and now Thurmaston, E400 MMC 4545 has departed Oswestry today, B9TL, Olympus, 4106 was seen in the Salop Road yard this evening on passing by, understood as a replacement and understood to be permanent for the X5 loading issues. Due to 4106, there is a strong doubt Pulsar 3785 will be ever returning to Oswestry now.

Oswestry is getting 4106, 4111 & 4112.

3785 will go to Telford
