Mr Popodopolous Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 20 minutes ago, pongo88 said: You're correct (sorry), though the frequency of trains through Falmer is approx every 15 minutes. I've used this line from Lewes (just up the line from Falmer) to Brighton on numerous occasions and the service is fantastic - e.g. modern frequent trains compared to the old wrecks used on the Severn Beach line. That doesn't surprise. We have a pretty poor deal in this area public transport wise, especially compared to London and in and around it. Would also add Severn Beach could be an excellent line but the number of trains is pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanjita Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Why not try walking to the game, I live over 4 miles from Ashton Gate and walk, it only takes just over an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat Fastard Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I drive from Taunton and have to get there early to find a parking space - but at least I can pick up a ruby for the family on the way home.

Weather conditions are bright with no rain(current forcast) I don't think too many fans will battering down the turnstiles to get into the game Maybe get some one to drop you down the Gate and make your own way home Trains to from Bristol Temple meads to Parson Street depart 13:25 13:55 and 14:25 Weston super mare to Parson street leave at 13:10pm and 14:10pm so if you come from outside of the Greater Bristol area give it a try Special A bus runs from the Brislington area be outside Arnos Hotel at approx 13:50pm First bus I think still runs from Warncliffe Gardens area Hope to see some of you on the A bus from Brislington. What time does the A Bus from Brislington usually get to the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldstandrobin Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Trouble is everyone wants to park inside the front door nowadays, I come in from Burnham and park on Bedminster Down and then WALK. I'm in my mid 60's and its good exercise and compensates for all the time in the week I sit at my laptop writing drivel to keep myself occupied !!!!!

These parking restrictions are ridiculous if not necessary.. the club with help from the council are going to need to do more especially with a gurt big stand opening next season!

Provision of rolling stock is is micro managed by civil servants. Planning was on the basis that demand would remain static. In fact, it's nearly doubled in the last ten years.

True, but GWR had this big fanfare about supplying an additional 11,000 seats / 33 Trains to the Bath Christmas market - where have those seats vanished to?

Granted they'll have a double track at Pill it would be still nigh on impossible to even get 2 trains an hour. I think at best its going to be an hourly service.

Lots of improved stock coming this way when when the electric stock is running London-Cardiff-Bristol. The Severn Beach Flyer is now a regular three-coach set that is restricted by the line speeds, not the stock speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Severn Beach line, operating under the same constraints, is now roughly every 40 minutes to/from Avonmouth. Without the Severn Beach extension it would be half-hourly.

Slack Bladder Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I was thinking of using the new BC1 bus from Whitchurch, but coming back it leaves at 5pm, well the games don't fiish until 5 to 5 and then takes me 10 mins to get out of the South Stand, so I miss it. Any chance it could leave at 5:15 that would be much more convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
