BritRail timetable product says "Bus"

I have purchased a BritRail pass for upcoming travel in September. Looking at the timetable for travel from Bath Spa to Moreton-in-Marsh shows 2 changes, one of which says Bus in the Product column. Is this bus included in the BritRail pass I purchased?

What day? It may well be a rail replacement bus, as there are no trains running between Didcot Parkway and Oxford for most weekends in September for track renewal and infrastructure improvement.

Thank you, the travel date is September 11, which is, indeed, a Sunday. Thank you for the explanation.

There should be an hourly direct bus from Didcot to Hanborough to pick up the train onto Moreton-in-Marsh there, which seems to connect well from the trains coming from the west. Avoid the ones that go via Oxford. The rail replacement buses at Didcot usually leave from right outside the station but there should be staff to help to get to the right one.
