Admin phantom Posted January 15, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 16 hours ago, Never to the dark side said: 139,000 to 149,000 Keep using Parson Street if you can, and if you start your journey from BTM ask the booking office staff to issue the ticket from Parson Street To back up what @Never to the dark side mentioned, it is a really visible and massive increase over the years Hopefully may tempt GWR to increase the services stopping here in the future Fair play to GWR they had already pencilled in additional trains for the 26th January - even they expected us to be facing Liverpool What would be intriguing to know if how many actual people did the journeys more often and how much of these increases is down to the fact that you need a ticket to get through a barrier at more stations on this corridor of travel now Looks good for both local stations going "South" out of Temple Meads For comparrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 After the west brom game we will only have one more Saturday 3pm kick off. If the Stoke game gets moved West Brom will be the last saturday 3pm kick off Not sure if Afobe is/will be allowed to play against Stoke,depends on what has been negotiated. So please give the train a try and if you use the train to Parson Street,thank you. Don't forget if your heading away from Bristol temple meads on any train journey to Wales the North london or to portsmouth/Southampton direction. Ask the ticket office staff to issue your ticket from Parson Street. Not forgettng the Killers at BS3 on Tuesday 9th june Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderJar Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 John, it is worth mentioning that there is now a 22:06 and a 22:22 from Parson Street which both get you to Temple Meads in time for the last trains to London and the North on a week night.* *only valid for the Sheff Weds game on 17th March when it will be Wednesday on Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Thanks for that,I see that you can get to London okay, but only get as far as Cheltenham north bound the last Birmingham leaves at 22:00pm Support your local football station PARSON STREET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderJar Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 6 minutes ago, MattWSM said: why are we talking about Parsons st pls. is something happening to it As I understand it (although NTTDS is the expert) the more people use it for football the more likely they are to put on better services for football and/or give consideration to reopening lines to Ashton Gate station. So his advice is to book train tickets through to Parson Street rather than Temple Meads even if you leave at Temple Meads (it costs the same generally). Personally I use Parson Street anyway because it is closer to where I want to be, Mecca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
