Changes to some services in Shropshire from November 26

3 weeks ago Fri 18th Sep 2026

From Monday 2 November, several services in Shropshire are being revised to better reflect customer feedback and demand and offer improved connections across Shrewsbury, Oswestry and Ellesmere.

Service X5 Shrewsbury to Oswestry

To match current travel patterns, the 18:30 journey from Shrewsbury will no longer run on weekdays, but will continue to operate on Saturdays.

Service 53 Oswestry to Ellesmere

To provide a more consistent link between Oswestry and Ellesmere and better journey times for customers travelling to and from work in Oswestry, the timetable for Service 53 has been amended.

Service 53 will no longer operate to or from Marches School. Shropshire Council has advised that it will be exploring alternative home-to-school transport arrangements for pupils attending the school.

Service 437 Shrewsbury to Broseley

On non-college days, the morning journey towards Shrewsbury will now operate earlier, enabling customers who commute to Shrewsbury to arrive by 08:30.

Routes BLU, GRN, PNK, OHS:

Following the end of a Shropshire Council tender these services will now be operated by Hotspur.
