Lord Northski Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I’ve noticed your campaign before and I’m genuinely interested in why you’re raising the profile of the station. Is it to increase the numbers of those using public transport? Station threatened with closure? Raise awareness that there’s a main line railway station just down the road from Ashton Gate? Etc Apologies If you’ve already done this repeatedly, but I must’ve missed it, please tell us more. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 NTTDS plays Real-Life Bristol Monopoly and is the owner of the Parson Street Card. Roll a six, land on the station, and he gets loads of money! If only there was a Stockwood Train Line, I'd use it to travel to games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 All ticket prices to/from Parson Street are identical to those bought to Temple Meads. But by booking to Parson Street it helps to ensure the station stays open and it is the nearest to Ashton Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stations aren't exactly closing on a regular basis. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_closed_railway_stations_in_Britain:_A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it is one of the least used stations in the country, services have been upped recently for commuters, there is no danger of the station shutting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcshorey Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 If Redcar British Steel station stays open with 40 odd users a year.... I'm sure Parson St. will be fine. I do think Bristol Sport should promote it more. Some offer like Brighton do with free travel from other Bristol stations I'm sure would help parking in the area.

GreedyHarry Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I thinks it's about sales data showing an increased footfall at the station. It's more likely the services would become more frequent with more people using it (currently about one an hour). Also the train companies would be more likely to stop more trains on matchdays at the appropriate times if they saw a larger footfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the club losing millions every year, I don't see them or Bristol Sport underwriting transport costs. Might be worth asking Marvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foghornred Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Sorry but we always get a ticket to Temple Meads as this gives us the option of getting on there and getting a seat if the weather is OK, I know that a lot of fans will not go to Temple Meads as you need a ticket and plenty don't travel with tickets.
