Dear @FirstBSA@travelWESTeng. Is West Street going to be shut for the Lantern Parade this afternoon? Both your websites says it will be. I thought it's just North Street, East Street and Cannon Street? Can't ring anyone to check either as your contact centre is closed
@FirstBSA Faye. I've been on that link and that's what I'm querying. Which part of West Street is shut? Isn't this the route diverted buses are taking?
Thought about taking the train to see friends after Christmas, rather than drive. Cheapest tickets with a railcard isโฆ ยฃ174. Bonkers. Plus 26 different ticket combinations ๐
Guess weโll take the car again thenโฆ

@Motorscribe Yes, spot on. I feel most for those who have no access to a car. How socially excluded would we be as a society without the car today? We should be doing so much better in 2024
@Thatcargeek Itโs expensive, itโs complicated. It just feels broken, and it does nothing to encourage people (like me!) to try the train as an alternative to driving
@Thatcargeek I tried two split ticketing sites. One didnโt return any results, the other was more expensive at ยฃ185. But regardless, no-one should have to use hacks like this just to book a few rail tickets. Itโs absolutely ridiculous
โDue to overcrowding, itโs unsafe for us to run our trolley serviceโ. A heaving @GWRHelp service Bristol to London as itโs the first off peak of the day. Perhaps if fares were more affordable, passengers could be better spread? If itโs not cost, why else is this service so busy?
