Bristol Rob Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 Having looked at the First Bus website, it looks as if the only bus running on New Year's Day is the A1 airport bus. Which leaves only a few options. Uber - New Years Day, likely to be expensive. Drive - Entirely dependent on how much I enjoyed NYE, but it comes with a parking challenge. Walk - Never gonna happen. Try and find a stream - looking increasingly likely. Should the driving option be an option, what are the parking areas most likely to have availability (happy to pay) and how late/early do you need to be there to get a spot.

Raynes road. Not to expensive I was going to mention that - it's £20 isn't it? They have a QR code displayed on the gate, which I guess leads to a website. I s'pose you aren't aiming to arrive too early, because there would be a spaces around if you did. I don't know if anyone has experience of parking outside the LA park and ride gates, but there might be space there, and about a 2k (around the metro line) walk to the ground - or 1k if you went the more direct route to the Ashton Road bridge.

Buses in Bristol on New Year's Day are running on a Sunday service. Whatever made you think otherwise. If you live near Mem that's not a problem at all with several routes going down Gloucester Road from top of Muller Road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted December 25, 2023 Report Share Posted December 25, 2023 As it’s a Monday, but a bank holiday, are the parking zones in and around Bemmy applicable. Do they apply on a bank holiday or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
