Admin phantom Posted July 30, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hi Dan The company aBus run this route, it starts in Keynsham and follows the A4 into Bristol, past Temple Meads through the City centre then onto AG8. I've used the service AFTER the game before, the buses are easy to spot as they are a fleet of double decker buses and after the game they leave from the exit by the club shop heading to Greyville Smythe park, There are usually three buses that wait until they are full then leave following the reverse route back out to Keynsham Another alternative to you, is to get the train to Parson Street, there is a train about 17:30 going North, I get the train back to Weston from here and find it the least hassle option as the aBus can get stuck in traffic heading through Bristol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I would agree with getting the train to and from Parson Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!james Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 check out http://www.abus.co.uk/ there is a pdf document under the route map section showing the pick up points: "Service A to and from Ashton Gate Stadium Service A operates one hour before the kick-off of all home games from Brislington and Temple Meads calling at the stops shown on the left. After the match has finished, buses return to Brislington via the Centre and Temple Meads setting down as required." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 The bus is not something I would call reliable, not in the same place at the same time, and once it fills up its off. Not useful after the match if you have to get a train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton_fan Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 The cheapest way is to walk if the weather's OK, just follow the riverbank it takes about 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herman Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 this raises an interesting point - though not advisable for our young friend - which are the best / if any good boozers to hit on the walk from TM to AG? obviously the classic AG ones once you get close, but for breaking up the journey?!

We normally have some food at the Wetherspoons by Temple Meads, then wander over to the Ship Inn by Redcliffe Church. Walk down the river to the Orchard, then to the cottage and then a can on the wall if the sun is out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, it's nice to know that even though we support different teams we can still love and respect each other. I've been worried about you too btw.

Fodbarmyarmy Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 When coming in by train the FOD barmy army Chepstow, Forest of Dean , and Caldicot regiments usually attend the following parade grounds Knights Templar (for brekkie) then O'neils by the centre then one of the bars on the waterfront then the Ferry taxi to the orchard then over the bridge to the Packet.....before presenting ourselves at AG for inspection.....

The thing is, he actually wants to watch a game of football. He won't see any football at that place near the Parkway!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
