RedRaw Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 There appears to be a bit of confusion here, there are two new bus services; 1) the new AG6 service run by First https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/more-buses-to-transport-fans-to-ashton-gate-in-201819/ This will drop off at Winterstoke car park and pick up from the Robins 2) the new Metro bus services M2 https://metrobusbristol.co.uk/m2/ The nearest stop is behind the flats as mentioned above and then goes over the bridge towards the P&R. This wont start until early September and will not run on a Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem Marvin's got plans for a tube network so with a bit of luck that will be up and running anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 I notice that the last buses on the M3 to/from Emersons Green leave City Centre at 21.05. No timetable available yet for Long Ashton, as far as I know, but if it still locks the gates at 21.00, it will be absolutely useless for evening games. Farcical Bristol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

myol'man Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 According to the story in the Post today the Metrobus M2 route will launch in start running from Long Ashton P&R on Monday September 3rd. Contrary to earlier reports the graphic shows that it will run Monday to Saturday until 10.45pm So, OK for evening matches and away fans getting back to temple Meads? https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/new-metrobus-route-take-longer-1916133 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pillred Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 can see chaos ensuing on a Saturday with rpz and other parking restrictions plus greedy car park operators now charging £10 to park, could get VERY busy over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gasbuster Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 I used the new M1 service from Bradley Stoke yesterday. Early days of course, but it might not turn out to be the white elephant many thought. A good number of fellow reds were using it yesterday, and they all seemed happy with it. Sorry @NTTDS but this will be my method of transport to the Gate from now on. No more having to leave home ridiculously early to find a parking space (especially evening games). And no more being pissed about with bus replacement services between Parkway & Temple Meads. No more suffering of singing drunken away fans (Leeds, Brum & Forest in particular) on the overcrowded two carriage 17.35 from Parson Street heading north.

I usually meet a few mates who come in from Bradley Stoke, they have caught the train (when available and running ) , but they've been talking about getting the Metro. Might start meeting in the centre , I think they said they'd have to change there to get to the Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are four stops where both the M1 & M2 stop, namely Cabot Circus, Broadmead, Centre and Queen's Square. I got off at Cabot Circus, and the M2 was there ready to go. Just a 5 minute wait between the two coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 The problem with the metrobus is that it was supposed to add to the current routes giving some faster more direct options. They have however already started stopping and changing other services so as opposed to being a addition with more options for people they are losing services and being forced to use the new routes.
