RonManager Posted 18 September, 2009 Share Posted 18 September, 2009 Should be no more than 2 hours from Bristol via Westbury and Salisbury by train. I do it from Taunton by train - 1030 off Taunton - change Westbury, 1215 into Southampton £20 return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Posted 18 September, 2009 Author Share Posted 18 September, 2009 :smt039 Which part of Briz? Also train is much easier. Haven't decided yet. Train is about the same journey time and price for one person alone, but I guess you can drink more. Point taken. Edit: Ron - apparently it's £26 return on a Saturday. None-stop from Temple Meads to Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's a good service, very rarely delayed, but sometimes full after Salisbury depending on whether its 2 or 3 coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilko Posted 18 September, 2009 Share Posted 18 September, 2009 10.20ish from Bristol Temple Meads is the usual service. Gets in at about midday. Our small group doesn't tend to go to many home games any more, not many games at all, now I think about it. However, I'm sure you'll see bungle getting on at Bath.

Charlie2008 Posted 19 September, 2009 Share Posted 19 September, 2009 Sometimes am staying in Bath and would be up for sharing petrol costs, as and when. Have no wheels currently so normally rely on trains. Quite a good service but make sure you take your own tinnies! Buffet is priced for a captive audience!

irishsaint83 Posted 10 March, 2010 Share Posted 10 March, 2010 I usually get the train - Bristol to Southampton - the 9:23am one, if my flight is a little late i get the 10:23am one.

Similarly it's always cheaper for me to get a train to Cardiff from Southampton and fly bmibaby to Malaga than it is to fly from Southampton to Malaga even if I get the flybe flights the second they're released.

Will be on one of them this saturday for the leeds game - usually fly dublin to bristol (hell of a lot cheaper that dublin southampton) Dublin to Bournemouth (ryanair) is generally much cheaper, and closer to southampton. €10 each way last time I did it, which was a week ago.

ByTheGolacs Posted 10 March, 2010 Share Posted 10 March, 2010 I'm now based in Street, Somerset (having emigrated from Yorkshire and starting life in Lymington) - go to about 1/2 the home games and 1/4-1/3 of away games and drive myself and my son.

irishsaint83 Posted 11 March, 2010 Share Posted 11 March, 2010 Dublin to Bournemouth (ryanair) is generally much cheaper, and closer to southampton. €10 each way last time I did it, which was a week ago. Unfortunately, they have f**ked around with flight times and days with Bournemouth - I used to be able to do day trips flying back on an 8pm flight from there - now they don't even fly on a satruday at anytime...... Bristol / Gatwick with ryanair are the only realistic alternatives to flybe - as handy as it is to fly to Southampton, i'd rather save over £100. My flights for the Leeds game to Bristol return cost €20 (inc credit card fee's) and the train, again return booked in advance, £11 - the cheapest I have ever got flybe return to southampton was €108 - currently its €140, so for the sake of a 1hr 40 min train journey, I have an extra £100 to play around with.... (basically I can get to St Marys 3 times for the price of one return flybe flight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
