2 Oswestry to Wrexham via Gobowen
2A Oswestry to Wrexham via Weston Rhyn
2B Cefn Mawr - Wrexham,
2C Cefn Mawr to Wrexham (some AM and late PM start / extend to Oswestry)
53 Oswestry - Ellesmere
70/70A Oswestry - Shrewsbury
400/402-4 Oswestry Town Services
405 School Service (AM and PM School Days only)
449 Oswestry - Welshampton (AM and PM peaks, Monday to Friday only)
576 Oswestry - Shrewsbury

Note that 2/2A/2C interwork as a rule outside the peaks i.e. 2/2C/2, 2A/2C/2A etc, 2B stand alone and later works on 53, 449 is bus off 53. Also 400-402-4 interwork.

PVR of routes:
2/2A/2C = 7
2B = 1
70/70A = 4
400/402-4 = 2
405 = 1
449 = 1
576 = 2

Hope this helps

Do you require the allocation?

Thanks a lot I really appreciate that I already have the fleet list written down after getting it from the UK Buses website so I already know what the allocation is if thats what you mean.

I finally managed to start on getting the Oswestry fleet done on just the 2s I managed to go on all 7 Wright Pulsars one of the Optare Versas and one of the Scania Omnilinks I will head to Oswestry itself soon and do the rest am I right in guessing that all 3 Optare Solos are used on locals around Oswestry

6005/6 tend to be on Oswestry Town Services, on a Saturday one can appear on the 576 with 4707 on the Town Service if your lucky.

2546 can appear on Town Services or 576 but was on loan to Shrewsbury today so probably still be there.

Thanks mate appreciate that bit of info

Is 3508 also based at Oswestry or is it on loan I had it on a 70 as it wasn't based at Oswestry the last time I checked

Yes 3508 is Oswestry allocated since spring 2017 when it left Tamworth, on the 70/70A Oswestry to Shrewsbury today.

Thanks mate I must have misread it when I checked the UKbuses fleet list is the allocation for Oswestry 22 buses then

Best bets are the 70/70A or 576. The PVR of the 576 is 2 hourly so you may not see a bus on that in just under four hours back into Oswestry on a round trip.
