I would prefer to reserve judgement until it's finished rather than rushing to declare it a failure before the work has even begun. Too bloody late then It's the wrong choice made for the wrong reasons. If pretty well every other major city on England can have a real Metro, why can't we?

Why not just reopen the rail link between Ashton Gate Junction and Wapping Wharf? Makes perfect sense but nah. They stupidly took the bridge down from BTM and built over the tracks by redcliffe. You could have still had a light railway/tram line from BTM to where the railway starts at MShed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Yorkshire CideRed Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I had an increasingly rare visit to Bristol over the weekend, so decided to take the missus and kids to see Ashton Gate. I couldn't quite believe how long it took me to crawl from the centre of town, through Bedminster and down Winterstoke Road. I was planning on getting out and having a look round, but thanks to the time it took, I ended up having to knock the idea on the head. Annoying.

Turbored Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Bristols traffic is really the worst , i work away all over the country and when people moan about the traffic i just laugh at them and tell them you should come to Bristol and then you will see traffic problems. Of all the places i have worked in the last ten years i cannot think of anywhere worse , the issues are daily and the same occuring trouble spots with nothing ever done about them only ever added to. I know how to speed the flow up lets put a pelican crossing here or a traffic light that will help or lets build more office space and not improve roads. Dont start me on the M32 and coming into Bristol from that direction ......UUrrghh..!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted October 26, 2016 Author Admin Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 An update: Weekend closure of Winterstoke Road: December 2016 Winterstoke Road, Bristol will be closed for one weekend in December for the construction of a new bridge for MetroBus.

Any vehicles parked in the Cala Road trading estate will need to be removed by 8pm on the Saturday or risk being held until 8pm on the Sunday until the works are completed.

Up The City! Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 On the roundabout by KFC they really need to introduce some yellow box markings so those coming out of the stadium and turning right uptowards the Portway are not unnecessarily held up.

Admin phantom Posted November 29, 2016 Author Admin Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Winterstoke Road closed this weekend It won't affect many (if any) for the match day, but am sure there are some on here who would use this area over the weekend Winterstoke Road in South Bristol will be closed from 8pm Saturday 3 December to 8pm Sunday 4 December for the construction of a new MetroBus bridge.
