Palmers Green Red Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Went to Central Manchester and back yesterday. From Bristol it took 3 hours to get there and 3 1/2 hours to get back (including Manchester rush period). So whilst Preston is further, think it will only take a bit longer tomorrow ... in terms of when you leave, depends how much time you want in the pub before of course! Up the City!

And Its Smith Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 8am at the latest from Bristol 8am?! You will be there by 1pm at the very latest. Probably by noon. Leave by 10am and it'll be alright. Bradford is another matter. I'd be leaving by 1:30pm. That could be a bad journey. Luckily I am working one hour away!

Deepdale Born and Bred Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 No need to worry about the Grand National as that's 30 odd miles away from Deepdale. If you like a pint before the match in a decent pub with riverside location not too far from the train station vist The Continental, known locally as the Conti. Link here: http://newcontinental.net/ Nice, safe place with no trouble or bouncers. Anywhere near the ground will be Preston only. Enjoy your day out but not too much!

Mendip City Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 As someone who lives near Preston and does the reverse trip every other week I have learnt not to trust the M5/M6. From the centre of Bristol you're looking at an absolute best of 3 hours 15. Normally these days it's closer to 4 hours. Though 5 isn't impossible and 6 hours not out of the question with the odd incident complicating things. I'd be leaving no later than 9......

Yep, i've been to Deepdale four times and even played there twice, never took me more than 3 hours, perhaps I've just been mega lucky. Also did Blackpool on a bank holiday in less than three and a quarter hours.... Although this thread has made me panic now, might leave at midnight! Got to Glasgow in 6 hours once on a friday night, but Preston is 'at least 5 hours'!! Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted April 10, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 So basically from Bristol it could take anything from three to six hours? Going to be like wacky races up the M6 tomorrow lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
