littlered Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Vaguely football related. Does anyone have any contact details for the Ashton Gate Rail Station campaign team? I have sent a message through their website contact page and I've sent an email and have had no response to either. I'm looking to write an article on how 'green' the city really is and I'm focusing on transport. I've now got the editor on my back as I've kept him waiting for quite a while now! If anyone can help me I'd be super grateful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 It should be the junction for the light rail route the the Centre, but it won't. We're getting the Superbendybus instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hedgehogs rarely travel away. Particularly not to Wales where the Heddlu are always on the lookout for insectivores to take home as a treat for their malnourished families.
