ashton_fan Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Does anyone know if the 24 service is running as normal from the Centre? The run course coincides with part of it's route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverRed Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I have tweeted First Bus regarding the 71 service which normally goes across the Centre and also Hotwells Road, but so far no reply. There are a shed load of buses that either start, cross or terminate in the Centre, but no news about alternative routes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Any extra trains from Temple Meads to Parson Street before the game? No idea how the North Bristol hoardes are suppose to reach Ashton Gate if the centre and Portway are closed. The first train from Parkway to Parson Street arrives at 4pm according to TrainLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abraham Romanovich Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Here is the official website clearly showing the route http://www.greatrun.org/great-bristol-10k Just a word to the wise for those travelling by car, think rush hour and then allow an extra half hour ,Bristol will be completely gridlocked. Heads need to roll for allowing both events at the same time -complete shambles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevedon Red Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Does anyone know if the portway park and ride is open to park in? The bus leaves from outside so I'm guessing not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm driving to Bristol from Hereford, usually I exit the M49 at Avomouth & visit my mother in Redland before driving to Ashton Park School (c £160 for a season ticket for my car). I usually get to the school from Redland via the Zoo and then down Bridge Valley Road. I go under the suspension bridge and use the flyover to get to Ashton Park School. Is Bridge Valley Road closed? I'm not sure whether the road that one joins at the bottom of Bridge Valley Road is classed as the Portway or as Hotwells Road. If I cannot use Bridge Valley Road I will probably drive direct to Ashton Park School from the M5 junction south of the river (Gordano Services). Can anyone advise?

Thanks! I'm a Bristolian, but haven't lived there for over 40 years, now living in Hereford. I will now travel direct to my parking spot and visit Ma after the match when the roads will be clear. Thanks for clearing that up for me. N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeak Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Just come up Falcondale Road, across the Downs and park in Clifton near Sion Hill. No parking restrictions on a Sunday. 15 minute walk to the Gate. Not ideal but probably as close as you can get coming from that side of the city.

Hampshire Red Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Read some useful info on public transport for Sunday but there us surely a simple approach to this. Imagine we were kicking off at 11 am ( as TV now forces clubs in Spain to) to say up in the Championship We would all be there by 10.15 and life's a good Un. Well, do the same this Sunday. My alarm is for 7, leaving the coast 7.30 for breakfast in Bedminster and beers in the ground. We don't need the points so what is not to like?!

Simple answer is I don't know. But I doubt that there are interlinked barriers all along the Portway and would imagine pedestrians are able to cross the road as long as they don't get in the way of the runners! I'm cycling, should be less than 30 mins. I think it will take a lot longer by car, unless I leave silly early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
