Ticket to 'OSWESTRY BUS'

[DJames]

Hi all, I was looking at ways to get to Oswestry for a day out tomorrow, and on brfares.com, I've found that you can purchase a ticket to 'K342 OSWESTRY BUS'. Since Oswestry doesn't have a train station, what would the permitted route be for this ticket?

Thanks.

Edit: This is the page I was looking at: http://www.brfares.com/#!fares?orig=WVH&dest=K342&rlc=YNG

No Pacers available around here, I could maybe sneak one of the 139's out of the shed though?

Gobowen is the nearest station and usual railhead so presumably Arriva buses 2 and 53 from Gobowen. Perhaps worth checking with that operator?
These kinds of ticket are so seldom advertised and so poorly promoted, however, that I would not be in the least bit surprised if you were to return to this forum after your visit to relate a tale of woe about bus drivers refusing the ticket.

Thanks for the info, I'll ask Arriva about it then too. Are you the same chap of the WM Bus forum? I'm sure I recognize that username.

The National Fares Manual 97 Rail Links book, from 2008, confirms that Gobowen is the interchange station and that the ticket is valid on Arriva Midland North buses.
