BS3_RED Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 Surely the train station is about getting people to the city centre and not to the city. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeRed Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 Most people using the existing daily P & R are commuting to work or for later journeys shopping etc, the bus stops at Anchor Rd, centre, broadmead, Cabot, and Temple Meads. Unless you work around TM or want to catch a connecting train the bus is more convenient.. Bus is cheaper as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I catch that train into work every day and it's £9 for a weekly ticket. The new P&R station is a godsend for me, I live 5 minutes walk away...dead 'andy. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Homer Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 Used to get the train on the Severn Beach line when I worked in Easton and lived in Avonmouth. It baffles me why they have felt the need to spend the amount they have done when there is a perfectly good station in Shire, less than 0.5 of a mile from the P&R.

Err what's Yatton got to do with Portway Parkway station, they aren't even on the same line, you'd have to change at temple meads to do that journey so kinda defeats the object, Unless they've build a direct line to portray from Yatton in the last 24 hours Edited July 27, 2023 by Monkeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of car parking at the P&R would be my guess. Only parking for about 10 cars at Shire and none at Avonmouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite some time since I was at AG ( get to more away games in the last few years) and from comments on here don;t want t risk trying to park near the ground, so P&R seems like the best option, especially as I will have a 6 year old with me!

I use it for every home match, a really good service and stress free. I usually aim for half 1 and don't wait long plus it's really easy to get out and no worries about parking.

The nearest rail station to where I live now is Yatton, hence why I chose it. I'm not sure what you mean when you say that they are not even on the same line. You can get direct trains from Avonmouth to Yatton and from Yatton to Avonmouth. If I lived in the Shirehampton/Avonmouth area now, I would find the P&R platform very useful if I needed to make many train journeys.

What would be the point? And portray Parkway is on the CNX while Yatton is on the MLN1, you have to go through bristol temple meads to get there so defeats the object of parking there for commuting into the centre 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
