Public Transport Group Trip to Oswestry

Social and beer scoring trip by public transport from Shrewsbury to Oswestry. Please note this is a Friday trip. Members and non-members welcome!

Outward travel is on the 11:00 X5 arriving at Oswestry at 12:00. Note that this is a change from the bus we used to catch at 10:30, as Arriva have changed the service frequency to every 45 minutes after the peak. However, for those who would prefer to breakfast at the Wilfred Owen, an earlier bus leaves Shrewsbury at 10:15 arriving in Oswestry at 11:15.

According to What Pub the town centre now has only 10 cask beer outlets, 8 fewer than pre-pandemic days. The suggested route is as follows, which with a few judicious halves, should enable a score for all the pubs.

Wilfred Owen, Coach House (before they get busy with diners), Bailey Head (CAMRA Pub of the Year), Plough, Griffin, Fox, Wynnstay Hotel, Oak Inn, Bell, Black Lion (opens at 16:00).

Buses back from outside the Black Lion are 16:40 arriving in Shrewsbury at 17:40, or 17:25 arriving in Shrewsbury at 18:20.
