Any chance it could leave at 5:15 that would be much more convenient. I live in Whitchurch and it takes an hour and ten minutes to walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderrider Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Just used the BC1 bus service from Whitchurch to the gate and it was excellent, easier than driving, no prowling for a parking space and dropped off outside the ground. Well worth three quid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Codered you are a very naughty person. Thank you for all those who did decide to use public transport Any way this is the day it panned ouy Parson street railway station after the match approx one hundred boarded the first weston super mare bound train Although appro one hundred and thirty boarded the Bristol bound train Not sure how these numbers stack up in regards passenger numbers in the past By the way does any one if any one got a parking ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webzcas Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Have to say they need to put on bigger and more buses from the ground after the game. i was lucky and got on and a seat. But loads of people were not. i doubt I'll do the park and ride and bus 24 combo again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunsteral Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I live in willsbridge not far from longwell green. I drove to park and ride at brislington (15 mins), straight on to a bus, got off on the centre (15 mins). 2 bus stops away got on a 24, unfortunatley had to wait 20 mins for the bus to come (supposed to be every 10 mins) expect due to traffic (bus comes from southmead hospital). I was in the coopers arms 1 hour after i left home. this would normally take me 30 minutes but at least i didn,t have to worry about finding a parking space. Return journey. just missed a 24 as i was walking to the bus stop, waited 20 mins. Reached the centre about 5.55 pm and jumped straight on a 904 park and ride bus. 18.10 reached park and ride, got home 18.20 (about 20 mins later than doing it by car (no problem). Used my bus pass cost = NOTHING. Result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting the BTM to Parson Street times previously as that highlighted a very short and convenient connection time that trainline assumes isn't possible (only waited at BTM for 7 mins). I walked back to BTM after the match rather than wait for the train from Parson Street - took about 40 mins. I did see a ticket on a car parked near a junction. I will use the train a lot more in future so thanks for the suggestion NTTDS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local airport for local people :laugh:... I may well be getting some more work out there this year do will be using them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
