Bus Routes In Shropshire
70a – Shrewsbury to Oswestry
We’re expecting Oswestry to either be weird or brilliant. Isolated towns without a railway station usually are, and – spoiler alert – we find out that it’s definitely one of them.

436: Bridgnorth to Shrewsbury
This heady concoction of sweat and sun cream has violently disagreed with the wee beasties, leaving their lifeless exoskeletons strewn between my freckles, and leading to a very rare victory for me against insects.
Bus Routes in North Yorkshire
31X: Helmsley to York
